Slovak term or phrase: mimoúrovňové križovanie
I know that a mimoúrovňové križovanie, as compared to 'nadjazd' could logically also be a tunnel, but I find 'non-level crossing' to be a highly unsatisfactory term, and 'bridge/overpass or tunnel' a bit of a mouthful. Simply 'Crossing' is the term used by the UK Highways Agency, but maybe somebody has some other input.
Pri ostatných dráhach vzhľadom na ich veľký počet, nižšiu prevádzkovú rýchlosť dráhových vozidiel a nákladnosť výstavby nových a prestavby existujúcich dráh treba naďalej pripustiť úrovňové križovania a ich bezpečnosť riešiť signalizačnými alebo inými zabezpečovacími zariadeniami alebo inými riešeniami mimo dráhu (napríklad nadchodmi pre peších, súbežnou cestou na najbližšie existujúce mimoúrovňové križovanie, vybudovaním nadjazdu bez zásahu do dráhy).
