If you encounter a moving barrier or half-barrier upon arriving at a level crossing, what action must you take?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations state that at a level crossing with barriers or half-barriers in motion (either raising or lowering), the crossing is considered temporarily closed. The correct action is to stop the vehicle in the corresponding lane, waiting one behind the other to maintain order and safety. You must never attempt to cross before the barrier lowers, nor accelerate to pass while it is raising, nor invade the opposite lane. You must wait until the barrier is fully raised and the way is clear.
