Level Crossing

Should I cross in a spot different to those signaled for crossing?
At authorized crossings, there are several guarantees for those crossing; better visibility, the road is prepared to facilitate the pass of pedestrians or vehicles, the train conductor must give notice by honking the train horn. These elements, only present at authorized crossings, are a factor in considerably reducing the risk of accidents.

None of these guarantees are found at non-authorized crossings, considerably increasing the risk of suffering a serious accident. Risks include vehicles getting stuck on the rails and pedestrians might trip over road element and fall on the tracks.
