When approaching a level crossing with barriers, should you take into account that, for various reasons, the safety devices might not close the crossing in time?

Why?

The barriers in the photo are raised, but this does not guarantee that no train is approaching. Safety equipment can fail or operate too late. Even at a crossing with barriers, you must take extra care and check for approaching rail vehicles before entering.
