Explanation
Level crossing with moving barriers
When the barriers or semi-barriers at a level crossing are **rising or lowering**, the crossing is **not safe**. The movement indicates that the closure system is active and there may be an **approaching train** or an immediate phase change.
- **Do not enter** the level crossing while the barriers are moving.
- Stop before the **stop line**.
- Only cross when the barriers are **completely raised** and the **light and sound signals** have ceased.
Safety principle: the railway has **absolute priority** and the closure must be **fully open** to ensure a risk-free crossing. Entering with moving barriers may leave you trapped on the tracks.
