The intermittent light signal of white colour, having a slow cadence, operates during the time when the red colour light signals and the sound signals at the level crossing with the railway are off. This intermittent light signal of white colour with slow cadence allows the crossing.
The intermittent light signal of white colour, having a slow cadence, is not related to and does not announce the defect of the traffic light. In addition, as long as the traffic light is defective, the light signals of the traffic light will not operate, in which case neither the intermittent light signal of white colour, having a slow cadence, will operate.
During the time when the barriers or semi-barriers are in the process of lowering or rising, the signal with alternating red lights, which prohibits the crossing, will be in operation.
The correct answer is: A
OUG* - Article 60
(1) The traffic participants must show increased caution when approaching and crossing the lines of the current or industrial railway, as the case may be.
(2) At the level crossing with a current railway, provided with barriers or semi-barriers, the drivers of vehicles are obliged to stop at the sign that obliges to stop, if these are in the process of lowering or in horizontal position and/or the sound and light signals which signal the approach of the train are in operation.
[...]
Regulation** - Article 69
[...]
(2) At the level crossing with the current railway provided with automatic signalling installations without barriers, the prohibition of road traffic is achieved, optically, by the operation of the devices with intermittent-alternative red lights and the extinguishing of the control signalling represented by the intermittent white light and, acoustically, by the emission of intermittent sound signals.
Regulation** - Article 70
[...]
(4) At the level crossing with the railway provided with automatic signalling installations with barriers, the signalling of the prohibition of road traffic is achieved under the conditions provided in art. 69 paragraph (2), as well as by the lowering in horizontal position of the semi-barriers.
Regulation** - Article 71
(1) The signalling of the prohibition of road traffic is considered achieved even in only one of the following situations:
a) by the lighting of a single light unit of the device with intermittent-alternative red light;
b) by the operation of the sound system;
c) by the horizontal position of a single semi-barrier.
(2) Road traffic is also considered prohibited in the situation in which the barriers or semi-barriers are in the process of lowering or rising.
Regulation** - Article 136
(1) At the level crossing with the current railway, the driver of the vehicle is obliged to drive with reduced speed and to make sure that from the left side or from the right side a railway vehicle is not approaching.
[...]
Regulation** - Article 137
(1) The driver of a vehicle may cross the current railway provided with barriers or semi-barriers, if these are raised and the light and sound signals are not operating, and the signal with intermittent white light with slow cadence is in operation.
[...]
Regulation** - Article 138
(1) The driver of a vehicle is obliged to stop when:
a) the barriers or semi-barriers are lowered, in the process of lowering or rising;
b) the signal with red lights and/or the sound signal are in operation;
c) he encounters the sign "Level crossing with a single railway without barriers", "Level crossing with a double railway without barriers" or "Stop".
(2) The vehicles must stop, in the order of arrival, in the place where there is maximum visibility over the railway without passing the signs provided in paragraph (1) letter c) or, as the case may be, before the stop marking or before the barriers or semi-barriers, when these are closed, in the process of lowering or rising.
The road legislation does not provide anything in this regard.
