Upon arriving at a level crossing, if you observe that the barrier is in motion (going up or down), how should you proceed?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to stop until it is completely raised. For safety and regulatory reasons, it is strictly forbidden to enter a level crossing while the barriers or half-barriers are in motion, even if there is already physical space for the vehicle to pass. Analysis of options:   Incorrect: Passing if there is space is dangerous; the barrier could suddenly lower again due to the arrival of another train or a system failure.   Incorrect: Imitating other drivers ('pass when others do') never exempts you from complying with the rule and is a common cause of accidents.   Correct: You must wait until the barrier is fully vertical and, if there are traffic lights, until the red light has turned off.
