Question 432 of 802

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

A to reduce the speed, without crossing the continuous line for stopping;
B to stop the vehicle in the place where the visibility is maximum, without crossing the priority sign in cross;
C to reduce the speed of the vehicle and to cross with attention, making sure that from the left side or from the right side a rail vehicle is not approaching.

Explanation

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

  • to show increased prudence, to drive with reduced speed and to make sure that from the left side or from the right side a rail vehicle is not approaching;
  • if the barriers/half-barriers are lowered, in the process of lowering or raising, is obliged to stop, in the order of arrival, before the barriers/half-barriers,

Therefore, at the level crossing with the railway, when the barriers are raised, the driver of a vehicle must reduce the speed and cross with attention, making sure that from the left side or from the right side a rail vehicle is not approaching.
