统计资料表明,目前联邦德国联邦铁路有22000多个平交道口,1985年共发生汽车和火车相撞事故371件。因此,取消平交道口问题已列入交通政策总目标中,并予以优先考虑。在过去10年中,已先后取消了4000多个平交道口,耗资4亿马克。联邦铁路计划今后全部取消平交道口,汉诺威—维尔茨堡和曼海姆—斯图加特两条新建高速线路则将全部采用立体交叉,既有路网快速区段的平交道口也将不复存在。联邦铁路的三分之二平交道口在运输不太繁忙的支线铁路上。二分之一以上道口(约12000个)不在跨地区的公共交通线上,大部分是农民下地和林区工人上班经过的道口。列车通过这些道口的速度不得超过60km/h。凡是列车速度超过80km/h的线路,都必须安装道口安全设备。大约一半以上这类道口只采用灯 Statistics show that there are currently more than 22,000 crossroads in the Federal Railways in Germany. There were 371 car-train collisions in 1985. Therefore, the issue of deregulating cross-boundary crossing has been included in the overall goal of transport policy and prioritized. Over the past 10 years, more than 4,000 crosswalks have been canceled at a cost of 400 million marks. Federal Railways plans to completely cancel the level crossings in the future, Hanover - Wurzburg and Mannheim - Stuttgart two new high-speed lines will all adopt the three-dimensional cross, both the fast road section of the existing level crossing will cease to exist. Two-thirds of the federal railroad crossings are on less-than-busy feeder railways. More than one-half of the crossings (about 12,000) are not covered by trans-regional public transport lines. Most of them are crossings where peasants go to work and forest workers go to work. The speed at which trains pass these crossing should not exceed 60km / h. Where the train speed exceeds 80km / h lines, must be installed crossings safety equipment. About half of these crossings use only lights
