Relax, amigo.

Look, I'm not sure if there's a language barrier here, so I'll try to rephrase this simply: if trains have fencing on either side, there are almost always man gates every so often so that a) the tracks can be accessed for maintenance and b) in case of an emergency ( like we're discussing, ahem ) there is an exit to get people out and off of the tracks.

Is your expectation for emergency egress that sidewalks are required along the entire route in order to have emergency exits from a fenced area???

What you suggest is like letting people leave a plane and walk along the tarmac.

Buddy, this is exactly what sometimes happens. What do you think they do? Sometimes a plane just isn't able to be fixed on the spot and you have to disembark on the spot. Shit happens.

What I want is to get from point A to point B safely.

Then why are you driving? That's statistically way, way, way more likely to end in a fatality for you and it isn't even very close.

Southern Europe cosplaying as western Europe for the purposes of feeling superior to eastern Europe is legitimately funny though, especially since I'm from a place where both would be considered barely functioning countries lol.

That being said, you seem to really be getting up in your feelings with this since we're devolving to both unearned and mistargeted national pride, so I think now is probably a good time to block and move on :) . Been fun, amigo, but maybe get one of your countrymen to pass a J and loosen up a bit, eh?

Drive safe!

I'm exaggerating on purpose because it feels like I'm talking to a baby and it's the only way to get something across.

No, unless the plane explodes they never let people walk along the tarmac. You're talking soviet era service again.
