For answer  A 

The intermittent white light signal, with slow cadence, operates during the time when the signal with intermittent‑alternative red lights and the sound signal at the level crossing with the railway provided with an automatic signalling installation for the approaching train are off. This intermittent white light signal with slow cadence allows road traffic.

For answer  B 

The intermittent white light signal, with slow cadence, has no connection and does not announce the malfunction of the automatic signalling installation. In addition, as long as this is defective, the light signals will not operate, in which case neither the intermittent white light signal, with slow cadence, will operate.

For answer  C 

During the time while the barriers or semibarriers are in the process of lowering or raising, the signal with intermittent‑alternative red lights will be in operation, 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 approaching 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) Traffic participants must show increased caution when approaching and crossing 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 lowering or in horizontal position and/or the sound and light signals that announce the approaching train are in operation.
[...]

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, through the operation of the devices with intermittent‑alternative red lights and the extinguishing of the control signalling represented by the intermittent white light and, acoustically, through 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 under the conditions provided in art. 69 paragraph (2), as well as by the lowering in 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 lowering or raising.

Regulation** - Article 136

(1) At the level crossing with the current railway, the driver of the vehicle is obliged to move 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 signal with intermittent white light with slow cadence is in operation.
[...]

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 lowering or of raising;
b) the signal with red lights and/or the sound signal are in operation;
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 lowering or raising.

For answer  B 

The road legislation does not provide anything in this regard.

For answer  C 

The road legislation does not provide anything in this regard.
