What are the most important rules when approaching an Austrian railway crossing?

When approaching an Austrian railway crossing, always reduce your speed, look and listen for trains from both directions, and be prepared to stop. Never proceed if signals indicate a train is approaching or if the exit is blocked.

What should I do if the barriers start to lower at a railway crossing?

How do flashing lights affect my actions at an Austrian railway crossing?

Yellow or red flashing lights at an Austrian railway crossing always mean 'Halt!' (Stop!). You must stop before the crossing and wait until the lights extinguish and any barriers are fully open before proceeding, even if a train has already passed.
