Railroad crossings, also known as level crossings, are intersections where a railway line crosses a road or pathway at the same level.

Many high-traffic railroad crossings in the Netherlands are equipped with barriers that block the road when a train is approaching. These barriers are often accompanied by flashing lights and bells to alert drivers and pedestrians about an oncoming train.

The Dutch railway operator, Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS), and relevant authorities often conduct public awareness campaigns to educate people about the importance of following safety rules at railroad crossings.
