The East Flanders Public Prosecutor’s Office has identified 54 professional cyclists who ignored a red light at a rail level crossing during the Tour of Flanders cycling race on Sunday. A report on the violations is currently being drawn up, the East Flanders Public Prosecutor’s Office has confirmed.
min fine €400… yikes. I don’t see from the video how they could ID all those riders. Some of their numbers were showing… probably not all. I never heard of a “level crossing”. Apparently that means rail crossing?
I would hope they aren’t this harsh on urban cyclists running reds at street intersections.
Indeed, a rail crossing. It’s been interesting, as the media has been advertising such cases of people disturbing public transport by crossing too late. It was a toss-up between Flanders second favourite sport and the irresponsible crossing trend. Good to see rules aren’t bypassed for millionaires on this occasion.
