By accidents on viaducts of Sauerland-route the objective has been demonstrated formerly and it was intensified by the momentous accident on Wiehltal viaduct in 2004. A recent amount of trucks breaking through guardrails is indicating insufficient guidelines as well as inadequate devices against plunge.
