What do you do at a level crossing when the barriers are closed?

When barriers at a level crossing are closed, the correct procedure is to stop and wait before the St. Andrew's Cross (the white X sign indicating the railway crossing) without blocking any junctions. This ensures safety and keeps intersections clear for other traffic. Additionally, if it is dark, switching on your vehicle's side lights improves visibility, helping others see your stationary vehicle. It is important not to wait directly in front of the barrier, as this could be dangerous and may obstruct the railway tracks. Following these steps helps prevent accidents and ensures smooth traffic flow at level crossings.
