At the level crossings with the current railway provided with barriers the driver of the vehicle has the following obligations:

• to show increased caution, to drive with reduced speed and to make sure that from the left side or from the right side no railway vehicle is approaching;
• if the barriers/half-barriers are lowered, in the process of lowering or of rising, is obliged to stop, in the order of arrival, before the barriers/half-barriers.

Therefore, at a level crossing with the current railway provided with barriers or half-barriers, the driver of the vehicle has the obligation to reduce the speed and to make sure that the barriers are raised, and from both sides no railway vehicle is approaching. Only after making sure, he can carefully cross the railway.
