If the warning bell at a railroad crossing is ringing but the barrier has not come down yet, you may enter the crossing.

Explanation

False. Article 33(2) prohibits entering a crossing not only while the barrier is closing or closed, but also while the warning device is sounding. Once the alarm starts, you must not enter. (Source: Road Traffic Act, Article 33 (Passing Railroad Crossings))
