Question 452 in the bank

What are you required to do according to the following road sign?

Two tall white rectangular boards with black borders, each with two parallel red diagonal stripes, slanting in opposite directions.
  1. If you see the train’s lights, stop 20 meters before the crossing.
  2. Correct answer: Slow down and prepare to stop before the crossing, if necessary.
  3. Drive faster and cross the railway tracks.
  4. Stop at a distance of 12 meters from the railway tracks to check if a train is approaching.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and prepare to stop before the crossing, if necessary.

These posts stand on the approach to a railway level crossing and show that the crossing is getting close. Slow down and be ready to stop before it if a train is coming, a signal is active or the barrier is lowering. Stopping is not always required, and speeding up toward the tracks is very dangerous.

Topic: Traffic signs. The bank marks it for these classes: Light truck (C1), Heavy truck (C), Bus (D), Motorcycle (A), Tractor (1), Private car (B).
