A railway level crossing sign requires slowing down enough to be able to come to a full stop before the crossing. This is because a train cannot stop quickly, so it is the driver's responsibility to make sure the crossing is safe. Speeding up or stopping in every case is not the correct response - you must slow down and be ready to stop if necessary.
Railway crossing = slow down + readiness to stop
Thinking you must stop in every case - you should slow down and be ready, but stopping is not mandatory if there is no train
