The distance signs for a railway level crossing (131/132) indicate proximity to the railway and prohibit overtaking from the point where they are placed until after the crossing. The prohibition is intended to prevent a situation where an overtaking vehicle gets stuck on the railway.
Railway = no overtaking until after the crossing
Thinking the prohibition applies only when a train is seen and is not permanent
