How must the driver of a bus proceed at the level crossing with the railway, when the barriers are raised?

A to reduce the speed, without crossing the continuous stop line;
B to stop the bus in the place where visibility is maximum, without crossing the priority cross sign;

Explanation

At the level crossings with the current railway provided with barriers the driver of a vehicle has the following obligations:

  • to show increased caution, to drive with reduced speed and to make sure that from the left or from the right no railway vehicle is approaching;
  • if the barriers / semibarriers are lowered, in the process of lowering or raising, is obliged to stop, in the order of arrival, before the barriers / semibarriers,

Therefore, at the level crossing with the railway, when the barriers are raised, the driver of a vehicle must reduce the speed and cross carefully, making sure that from the left or from the right no railway vehicle is approaching.
