Explanation

If when approaching a level crossing with a current railway without barriers the red lights and the sound signals are in operation, you must reduce the speed and stop in the place with maximum visibility over the railway, without passing the signs or the stopping marking. You wait for the passing of the train and you continue your movement only after the red colour signals and the sound ones have stopped and the signal with intermittent white light with slow cadence is in operation.

The correct answer is: C
