The system including an environment sensor, a computer processing the data received from the one or more environment sensors, and a display device arranged on the vehicle and directed to the outside of the vehicle, the display device in the form of a horizontal strip and occupying a longitudinal end of the vehicle, and providing vulnerable users present in the vehicle's environment in the vicinity of the crossing with a visual indication as to whether or not they may cross the carriageway road surface, so that pedestrians and cyclists can obtain unambiguous information as to their presence being taken into account by the vehicle.
