I brake immediately with full force and try to stop before the railway crossing in any case

As long as no continuous red light is on, I may definitely cross the railway crossing

As long as the barriers are open, I may definitely cross the railway crossing

I quickly cross the railway crossing because I can no longer stop before it. Otherwise there is a risk that I come to a standstill on the tracks
