Step 3 » GENERAL learning environment Category B (B, B1)

The set of signs and additional panels in the image is made up of the following three components:

• the rectangular sign, is part of the warning signs category and is called “Additional panel for the level crossing with the railway”. This is placed 150 meters from the level crossing with the current railway in order to warn you about the approach to it;
• the triangular sign, is part of the warning signs category and is called “Level crossing with a railway without barriers”. This sign warns you that the level crossing with the current railway ahead is not provided with barriers or semibarriers;
• the additional panel positioned under the triangular sign is called “Level crossing with a railway provided with automatic light signalling installation”. Its purpose is to inform you that the level crossing with the current railway you are approaching is provided with automatic light signalling installation.

Considering the meanings of the signs, in the given situation you are warned that at a distance of 150 meters you will encounter a level crossing with the railway without barriers with automatic signalling installation. In this situation you have the obligation to reduce the speed of travel, make sure that from the left side or from the right side no railway vehicle is approaching and cross the railway only if the automatic light signalling installation has the intermittent white light with slow cadence in operation.
