...and when the friendly railway official has opened the barrier and we have crossed the tracks, we say thank you with a friendly shout: "We're all over it, have a nice day"

And the barriers close again.

A call barrier secures a level crossing that is rarely used by road users, which is usually off the beaten track and often cannot be seen by the responsible gatekeeper. The barrier booms are always closed and will only be opened if necessary – if this is possible without risk.

If a road user wants to pass such a level crossing, he reports to the gatekeeper on duty via an intercom. After consultation with the dispatchers who are responsible for the track section to the left or right of the crossing, the latter then opens the barrier if train traffic permits or announces the opening via the intercom. Since he passed the level crossing i. i.e. R. cannot see, the user is asked to report the eviction to the guard. In exceptional cases, the attendant may listen to the noises at the level crossing via the intercom and then close the barriers again. Before he closes the barriers, he announces the closing via the intercom. Rarely are one or more cameras installed to ensure more security.

Level crossings over which herds of cattle have to be driven can be designed differently. Here a sliding barrier is slid over the track so that the cattle do not swerve over the track.

In the middle of 2020 there were still 482 call barriers in the area of the federal railways. This is 3.1 percent of the total of 15,391 level crossings. In the long term, for reasons of economy, call barriers should no longer be approved, they should be successively secured by level crossings with barrier monitoring or a danger zone free alarm system and backlog detection.
