When a vehicle stops before a level crossing:
- It is permitted to overtake it, unless there is an unbroken separation line,
- It is permitted to overtake it, unless the roadway’s width is less than 6 meters.
- Correct answer: It is forbidden to overtake it.
- It is only permitted to overtake it in case of a level crossing with a barrier.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: It is forbidden to overtake it.
A vehicle stopped before a level crossing must not be overtaken, whatever the road width, the lane markings or whether there is a barrier. It may have stopped because a train is coming, and overtaking it could put you on the tracks in its path. Near level crossings, slow down, be ready to stop and wait behind the stopped vehicle.
