Summary:
From the railway operating standpoint, the collision of vehicles with railway bridges represents a danger, especially if the route is used by high-speed trains. Such collisions have already resulted in serious accidents to trains. A further danger is the fouling of the track by road vehicles falling from road bridges or straying off course from roads running parallel to the railway.
