This is a fully manual level crossing, where you have to open and close the gates on both sides of the railway tracks yourself. However notices warn people with vehicles or animals that they must phone first, to check if there is time to cross before the next train arrives. For pedestrians it is much easier, as there is a warning light. If this is showing green, it is safe to cross, using the separate gates for pedestrians.
