Does the visible sign warn of a level crossing that may be equipped with traffic lights?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you can see a road next to railway tracks, with sign A-9 "level crossing with barriers" with a fence symbol, and under it a countdown marker post with three red stripes. This sign warns of a level crossing that may be equipped with traffic lights - the answer is YES.
Sign A-9 warns of a level crossing equipped with barriers or half-barriers. Such crossings usually also have traffic lights that warn of an approaching train and of the barriers being lowered - the regulations do not rule this out, so the answer "may be" is true. Red lights or closing barriers mean that you must not enter the crossing, and when crossing you still exercise particular caution. Never go around lowered half-barriers - it is one of the most dangerous petty offences.
