This methodology regulates the procedure for the use and placement of the light barrier in practice and elaborates in further detail the relevant part of TP 217 (chapter 2.8). It defines the criteria for the use of the light barrier, i.e. the characteristics of the crossings for which the device is suitable and the safety risks it can remediate. At the same time, it is assumed that the strongest motivation will be in particular the aspect of a significant increase in road safety.

The following entities will mainly use the methodology in their work:

  • Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic,
  • road administrators and owners, road administration authorities,
  • The Railway Administration (SŽDC) and other railway operators, including sidings,
  • road designers and designers of crossing security devices,
  • traffic engineers of the Police of the Czech Republic,
  • road safety auditors.
