Explanation:
Hi Susana,

I hope this helps. On the first link you can actually see a picture of a railroad crossing.

The second is from the Catalan daily newspaper Avui, and is just one of many occurrences of the expression.

Good luck!

Explanation:
També es podria dir "encreuament". El "pas a nivell" és per als vianants, per creuar la via del tren.
