Pål Buset, who works with attitude-creating work in Bane Nor, fears that it may slam on the level crossings this summer. There are many who do not think about the danger that passenger trains, freight trains and work trains can pose to holidaymakers on wheels.
– The train can neither brake abruptly nor turn away. It comes fast, and some trains are almost silent. You have to be alert and attentive when you cross a level crossing, says Buset.
To avoid accidents at level crossings, he recommends having a good view. One must also not stand in line in the middle of the track when the barriers go down or when the train arrives.
– In addition, you must keep your distance from the car in front. You have to get completely over the track area when it is ready, he says.
Earlier this week, an adult and two children lost their lives in a train collision at Hässleholm in Scania in southern Sweden. A train ran on the three at a speed of 180 kilometers per hour.
