Question 187 in the bank

Under which conditions is it permitted to cross railway tracks?

A railway crossing with red-and-white striped barriers in the raised position, a red-and-white X-shaped sign, a triangle with a red border, and traffic lights. A silver van and two cars are near the crossing, with a rocky mountain in the background.
  1. You are only permitted to cross after giving right-of-way to the vehicles that drive away from the crossing, and without causing any disturbance to them.
  2. When a “stop” sign or a “red” traffic light are placed in your direction of driving.
  3. When the barrier starts to lift..
  4. Correct answer: When the railway-crossing is free, with its barrier lifted, and you can be cross it safely.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: When the railway-crossing is free, with its barrier lifted, and you can be cross it safely.

You may cross a railway track only when all the conditions are met together: the railway-crossing is free, the barrier is lifted, and you can complete the crossing safely. A barrier that is only starting to lift does not yet guarantee that you can cross, and a "Stop" sign or a red traffic light requires you to stop. A train cannot brake easily, so you must never get stuck on the tracks.
