I could never understand how exactly in a country where 1.5m fences are needed to keep pedestrians safe from trains, train crossings on roads have no arms.
In Germany pretty much all train crossings seem to have arms. Even the tiniest, remotest ones.
Unless they're not level crossings at all, which is pretty common in Europe.
Trams don't seem to operate under the same rules as trains. They run mixed with all sorts of traffic in urban areas in Zurich, although there are arms where they run faster near the airport.
