In the given situation we observe that the signal with intermittent-alternative red lights is functioning, this signal obliges the drivers of vehicles to stop, with the barriers then following to lower. In the given situation you must stop the motor vehicle in front of the barrier and wait for the signal that allows you the crossing.

The correct answer is: B

Recommendations:

The complete explanation of the sign --> Level crossing with a single railway with half-barrier, provided with warning light signals for the approaching of the train

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