Question 155 in the bank

What must a driver do when approaching a railway crossing?

A road crossing a railway, with red-and-white striped barriers, traffic lights, a white triangular sign with a red border and a white-and-red cross-shaped sign. A minivan and cars are on the road, with a mountain in the background.
  1. Continue driving normally. You don’t have to slow down.
  2. Stop, open the vehicle’s windows and listen
  3. Stop at a distance of at least one meter before the railway.
  4. Correct answer: Slow down to a speed which will allow him to stop before the crossing.if necessary.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down to a speed which will allow him to stop before the crossing.if necessary.

When approaching a railway crossing, slow down to a speed that allows you to stop before the railway. A train needs a very long stopping distance and cannot swerve off the track, so it is the driver who must be ready to stop. If a warning signal is given, you must stop. Continuing to drive normally without slowing down is dangerous.
