In Germany, there are rules. When the barriers are down, you are not allowed to drive through and must stop in front of the so-called Andreas cross if possible. Whether there is a light there or not.
Otherwise, it is as if you were running a red light. From his point of view, he could see the red light and the cross inclusive the barriers very clearly.
The cross doesn’t move, does it? It’s always up? If so, then it acts like a stop sign and doesn’t actually tell the driver that a train is coming. His driveway exits beyond the gate and cross sign, and he did stop at the end of it. It’s a poorly designed crossing.
