"incredibly dangerous" seems somewhat of an exaggeration
If they allow cyclists to walk their bikes through the crossing as the sign implies, presumably this is also reliant on their ability to detect if a train is coming to do so safely, in the same way as the photographer would be.
I'd also presume the safety margins don't require split-second reaction times, otherwise it would be a dangerous crossing for any user that they've sanctioned, and the sign should say "Cyclists Should Ride Through Here At Flat Chat And Hope For The Best"
