A survey was conducted on car drivers to identify the features of 3 types of violations at a level
crossing against eight other typical traffic violations. "Break through a barriered crossing" and
"Go into a crossing just after alarming" are considered socially to blame, dangerous, with no merit
and rationality, and classified into the same group as "Violate a red signal" and "Drunken driving".
On the other hand, "Into a crossing at no alarm, without mandatory stopping" is considered rather
safe, with a merit and little nuisance to other traffic, and classified into the same group as
"Move on under a yellow signal", "Illegal parking", and so on.
