When approaching a level crossing, you see that the barriers are moving to close. Are you allowed to cross the tracks?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations (Article 96(1)) prohibit entering a level crossing whose barriers or half-barriers are across the road or moving to be raised or to be placed across it. Anyone who finds it that way must stop and wait until the way is clear (Article 95(2)). That is why, with the barriers coming down, you must stop. Crossing even though there is room to get through is incorrect and very dangerous, because you must not try to get around the barriers. And it is not valid to cross just because no train can be seen coming: crossing is prohibited while the barriers are moving or closed, and you continue only when they are fully raised and the signals permit it.
