Does the design of the barriers enable a vehicle to break through if it gets stuck on a level crossing between closed barriers?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes. Barriers and half-barriers at railway crossings are designed on purpose to be breakable. If a vehicle is caught on a crossing between closed barriers, the driver should drive through the barrier and break it. This design increases safety, because it stops a vehicle from being trapped on the tracks in an emergency.
