Are you allowed to park your vehicle directly behind this sign?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you pass the countdown marker posts before a level crossing one by one: first the one with two stripes, and finally the one with one stripe - G-1c, placed closest to the tracks. From this post up to the crossing parking is prohibited, so you must not park immediately after it. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits parking before and after a level crossing, on both sides of the road, on the section from the crossing to the countdown marker post with one stripe. The Regulation on road signs and signals explains that the post with three stripes stands under the warning sign, the one with two stripes at 2/3 and the one with one stripe at 1/3 of the distance from the crossing. A car parked there would hide the tracks and the signs, and if there were a queue before the barriers, there would be no room to go around it.
Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 2 point 3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 78 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
