Question 460 in the bank

How should you conduct yourself from the place of the following sign until after the railway tracks?

Two white X shapes with red outlines, overlapping one above the other, with pointed red tips on every arm, on a white background.
  1. Cross the railway tracks quickly.
  2. Slow down and stop before the railway tracks, until the train passes.
  3. Correct answer: Slow down, check and verify that you can cross the railway tracks in a constant and uninterrupted drive. Don’t stop on the tracks.
  4. Stop and wait for the instructions of a signaler/flagman.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down, check and verify that you can cross the railway tracks in a constant and uninterrupted drive. Don’t stop on the tracks.

This sign marks a railway crossing with more than one track, so a train may come from either direction on any track. Slow down, look both ways, and enter only when you are sure you can cross all the tracks without stopping, with free space beyond them. Trains cannot stop quickly, so never stop on the tracks. Simply crossing fast, without checking, is not safe.

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).
