For answer  A 

The intermittent light signal of white colour, having slow cadence, operates during the time the light signals of red colour 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.

For answer  B 

The intermittent light signal of white colour, having slow cadence, has no connection 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 the intermittent light signal of white colour, having slow cadence, will also not operate.

For answer  C 

During the time the barriers or semibarriers are in the process of lowering or raising, the signal with alternating red lights will be operating, which prohibits the crossing.

The correct answer is: A

Recommendations:

The complete explanation of the sign --> Level crossing with a simple railway with semibarrier, provided with light signals warning the approach of the train

The obligations of the drivers of vehicles at the Railway, depending on its type - Audio-Video Lesson --> Road Traffic Code - Level crossing with the railway

For answer  A 

OUG* - Article 60

(1) The participants in traffic must show increased prudence 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 semibarriers, 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 the horizontal position and/or the sound and light signals that announce the approach of the train are operating.
[...]

Regulation** - Article 69

[...]
(2) At the level crossing with the current railway provided with automatic signalling installation without barriers, the prohibition of road traffic is achieved, visually, through the operation of the devices with intermittent-alternative red lights and the extinction of the control signalling represented by intermittent white light and, acoustically, through the emission of intermittent sound signals.

Regulation** - Article 70

[...]
(4) At the level crossing with the railway provided with automatic signalling installation with barriers, the signalling of the prohibition of road traffic is achieved under the conditions provided at art. 69 paragraph (2), as well as through the lowering in the horizontal position of the semibarriers.

Regulation** - Article 71

(1) The signalling of the prohibition of road traffic is considered achieved even only in one of the following situations:
a) through the lighting of a single lighting unit of the device with intermittent-alternative red light;
b) through the operation of the sound system;
c) through the horizontal position of a single semibarrier.
(2) Road traffic is also considered prohibited in the situation in which the barriers or semibarriers are in the process of lowering or raising.

Regulation** - Article 136

(1) At the level crossing with the current railway, the driver of 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 vehicle may cross the current railway provided with barriers or semibarriers, if these are raised and the light and sound signals are not operating, and the signal with intermittent white light with slow cadence is operating.
[...]

Regulation** - Article 138

(1) The driver of vehicle is obliged to stop when:
a) the barriers or semibarriers are lowered, in the process of lowering or raising;
b) the signal with red lights and/or the sound signal are operating;
c) he encounters the sign "Level crossing with simple railway, without barriers", "Level crossing with 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 at paragraph (1) letter c) or, as the case may be, before the stopping marking or before the barriers or semibarriers, when these are closed, in the process of lowering or raising.

For answer  B 

The road legislation does not provide anything in this respect.

For answer  C 

The road legislation does not provide anything in this respect.
