An active railway crossing in the Netherlands is equipped with automatic warning systems such as flashing lights, audible signals, or barriers (gates) that activate when a train or tram is approaching. Drivers must stop when these signals are active.
A passive railway crossing lacks automatic warning systems. It is typically marked by warning signs such as St. Andrew's crosses (J-12, J-13), which indicate the presence of tracks and the number of tracks, requiring drivers to exercise extreme caution and check for approaching rail vehicles.
At Dutch railway crossings, flashing white lights indicate that no tram or train is approaching, meaning you may proceed if the road ahead is clear. A flashing red light or steady red light means you must stop immediately, as a rail vehicle is approaching or the crossing is otherwise unsafe.
Yes, according to Dutch traffic regulations, all road users must give priority to rail vehicles (trams and trains) at level crossings and wait until the crossing is completely free before proceeding, regardless of the crossing type.
A St. Andrew's cross (Andreaskruis) is a warning sign used at passive railway crossings in the Netherlands. A single cross (J-12) indicates one track, while a double cross (J-13) indicates two or more tracks. It warns drivers to expect rail traffic and to be prepared to stop.
