For answer A

At the level crossing with the current railway, the vehicles must stop, in the order of arrival, in the place where there is maximum visibility over the railway without passing the signs “Level crossing with a single railway, without barriers”, “Level crossing with a double railway, without barriers” or “Stop” 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

When, at the level crossing with the current railway provided with barriers or semibarriers, these are raised and the light signals of red colour and the sound signals are not operating, and the signal with intermittent white light with slow cadence is operating, the driver of the vehicle may cross the railway. Considering that in the wording of the question it is asked to state in which of the situations the driver of a vehicle is obliged to stop and the signalling provided in answer B does NOT prohibit the driver of the vehicle from crossing the railway, this answer cannot be correct.

For answer C

The sign “Level crossing with a railway without barriers” does NOT oblige the drivers of vehicles to stop. This sign warns that a level crossing with a railway without barriers follows and is installed at a distance of 50 meters from the railway in the urban area, above the supplementary panel with one red stripe, or at a distance of 150 meters from the railway outside built-up area, above the supplementary panel with 3 red stripes.

The correct answer is: A
