Description

Art. 28 para. 3 pt. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

No, entering the crossing is forbidden. According to Art. 28 of the Road Traffic Act, you may only drive onto the tracks once the barriers have finished rising and the red signal on the light has gone out. Entering the crossing while the barriers are still moving or the red light is on is extremely dangerous, as another train could be approaching.
