level crossings
Track-road meeting points
Level crossings is the plural of level crossing, a place where a road crosses a railway track at the same elevation—no bridge or tunnel separating them.
The term is standard in British English; Americans say railroad crossing or grade crossing.
The train sounded its horn approaching the level crossing.
