The road legislation says that at the approach and crossing of industrial railway lines there must be shown increased caution, however answer A says “to increase attention”, therefore, since there is a difference between these two expressions, it is not considered the correct answer, to show increased caution ≠ to increase attention.
The drivers of vehicles located at a level crossing with an industrial railway must show increased caution at the approach and crossing of the railway lines and are obliged to comply with the meaning of the signals of the railway agent.
When on the industrial railway a rail vehicle is moving, the traffic must be directed by a railway agent. Therefore, if there is no railway agent it means that no rail vehicle will approach, in which case you do not have to stop. If there is a railway agent, you comply with his signals and you will stop only if he gives you a signal in this regard. Therefore, stopping is not mandatory, except in the case in which the railway agent addresses you this signal.
