Sign 1 is called "Level crossing with a single railway without barriers", it is installed at a distance of 5 - 7 m before the first rail at the level crossing with a single railway without barriers, usually together with the sign "Stop". When encountering this sign, the drivers of vehicles are obliged to stop the vehicle to make sure, before the transverse marking with continuous line and in its absence, in the place with maximum visibility of the railway, without exceeding the place where the sign is installed.

Sign 2 is also called "Level crossing with a single railway without barriers", when encountering this sign you are obliged to stop the vehicle in the place with maximum visibility, but without exceeding the sign, and if no railway vehicle is approaching you may continue your movement. Attention! Stopping is mandatory regardless of whether at that moment any railway vehicle circulates or not. The sign in the image can mislead you because it is used, usually, together with the automatic luminous signalling system, but it can also be used without that automatic luminous signalling system, depending on the case. Therefore, in the case in which it is installed alone, as it is in the image, or if its signalling system does not function, you are obliged to stop.
