For answer  A 

The intermittent light signal of white colour, having slow cadence, operates during the time when the red light signals and the sound signals at the level crossing with the railway are off. This intermittent light signal of white colour with slow cadence allows passing.

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 when the barriers or semibarriers are in the process of descending or ascending, the signal with alternating red lights will be operating, which prohibits passing.

The correct answer is: A

Recommendations:

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

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

For answer  A 

OUG* - Article 60

(1) The traffic participants must show increased caution when approaching and crossing the current or industrial railway lines, 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 requires stopping, if these are in the process of descending or in 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 installations without barriers, the prohibition of road traffic is achieved, optically, by the operation of the devices with intermittent-alternative red lights and the extinguishing of the control signalling represented by intermittent white light and, acoustically, by the emission of intermittent sound signals.

Regulation** - Article 70

[...]
(4) At the level crossing with the railway provided with automatic signalling installations with barriers, the signalling of the prohibition of road traffic is achieved in the conditions provided in art. 69 paragraph (2), as well as by the descending into 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) by the lighting of a single light unit of the device with intermittent-alternative red light;
b) by the operation of the sound system;
c) by 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 descending or ascending.

Regulation** - Article 136

(1) At the level crossing with the current railway, the driver of the vehicle is obliged to drive with reduced speed and to make sure that from the left side or from the right side no railway vehicle is approaching.
[...]

Regulation** - Article 137

(1) The driver of the 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 intermittent white light signal with slow cadence is operating.
[...]

Regulation** - Article 138

(1) The driver of the vehicle is obliged to stop when:
a) the barriers or semibarriers are lowered, in the process of descending or ascending;
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 in 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 descending or ascending.

For answer  B 

Road legislation does not provide anything in this respect.

For answer  C 

Road legislation does not provide anything in this respect.
