GENERAL Learning Environment Category B (B, B1)
Question 452 of 1208

Can the red car overtake in the given situation?

A yes, because he signalled the intention and from the opposite direction no vehicle is approaching;
B yes, because he is located at more than 150 m from the railway;
C no, because he overtakes a queue stopped at the level crossing with the railway.

Explanation

At the level crossing with the current railway provided with barriers or semi-barriers, the vehicles must stop, in the order of arrival, before the barriers or semi-barriers, when these are closed, in the process of descending or rising.

The driver of the red car proceeds irregularly because he does not respect the obligation to stop in the order of arrival and engages in overtaking the queue of vehicles stopped at the level crossing with the railway, the maneuver being prohibited.

The correct answer is: C
