If your vehicle breaks down and cannot be driven while inside a railroad crossing, you must immediately alert railway staff or the police (for example with an emergency signal) and also take the steps needed to move the vehicle out of the crossing.

Explanation

True. Article 33(3) requires the driver to do both things: immediately notify railway or tramway staff or a police officer (for instance by giving an emergency signal), and take the measures necessary to move the vehicle out of the crossing.
