BDifficulty 3/5

At a level crossing with a barrier, when may you begin crossing if signals permit passage and you can clear it without becoming stranded?

Correct answer

When the barrier has finished rising and the way is clear.

When the barrier has finished rising and the way is clear. Do not cross while it is closed or moving even if there appears to be room. Approach with extra caution and reduce speed below the permitted maximum. A raised barrier is insufficient if a red light, agent or other signal requires stopping or you cannot clear the tracks without becoming trapped.
