If, when approaching a level crossing with the current railway without barriers, the red lights and the sound signals are in operation, you must reduce the speed and stop in the place with maximum visibility over the railway, without passing the signs or the stop marking. Wait for the train to pass and continue your driving only after the red colour signals and the sound signals have stopped and the signalling with intermittent white light with slow cadence is in operation.
