Switch off the vehicle's engine until the barriers open
According to The Highway Code (Rule 123), drivers must not leave a vehicle engine running unnecessarily while stationary on a public road. Switching off the engine during an extended wait, such as at a closed railway level crossing, cuts fuel consumption, eliminates toxic exhaust emissions, and stops engine noise.
