You must only cross a level crossing when you are sure that no train is approaching and that there is enough space on the other side so you are not left stopped on the tracks. It is essential to avoid stopping anywhere on the level crossing, because this is very dangerous. The manoeuvre must be done without delay, but always with care. Before crossing, you must check the situation visually and obey any signs. The priority is safety and not blocking the track.
