Question 457 in the bank

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

Two crossed white bars with red outlines forming an X, each bar ending in pointed tips.
  1. Prepare to stop before the intersection.
  2. Always stop before the railway tracks.
  3. Correct answer: Slow down and even stop before the crossing.
  4. When the barrier’s lights are flickering, drive faster and cross the railway tracks.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down and even stop before the crossing.

This sign warns of a level crossing where the road meets a railway. Approach slowly enough to stop before the tracks if a train is coming, the lights flash or the barrier comes down. Stopping is not required every time, but you must never speed up to beat a train.

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).
