A level crossing is an intersection on the same level between a railway and a path where the first one always have priority before vehicles and pedestrians. Its crossing has always entailed danger. To minimize it, protection and signposting systems have evolved throughout time and since the eighties of the twentieth century there has been a tendency to suppression. However, there are still some places without a lot of traffic.
