Risk of life on the track: Federal Police warn of fatal accidents!

Hausach, the city where the track becomes dangerous! Many people use the train every day, but the shocking truth is: Many underestimate the danger to life that lurks in the track area. The Federal Police and Deutsche Bahn AG raise the alarm and urge to warn: "Entering the track area is strictly prohibited!" The truth often lies in ignorance, carelessness and a fatal mistake of perspective. Again and again there are fatal accidents that would be avoidable!

danger to life in the track area!

In order to minimize these dangers, a drastic measure is now being taken at train stations and stops across Germany. Striking warning banners with the imprint "danger to life - enter the track systems are prohibited" are installed. The focus of this campaign is particularly on young people who often misjudge the risks of rail operations or simply ignore them. Is it out of ignorance or just stupidity? The risk of electricity overlays in the overhead lines is real and is often underestimated!

An urgent comparison illustrates the extent: While the house current comes with 220 volts, the overhead line thundered with shocking 15,000 volts! And that's not all - it is enough to approach the line only 1.50 meters to get into acute danger to life, because electricity can strike across arcs. Particularly questionable: in the weather in moist weather, the risk of a arc effect remains, even at larger distances to the management.

Although there are countless signs that indicate the dangers, these warnings are often ignored. How often does the hustle and bustle of rush hour traffic come about that abbreviations are taken over the tracks? A new warning was installed at Hausach station yesterday to point out these impending dangers. Stay vigilant, be informed and be careful what you do!
