Are you allowed in this situation to enter the level crossing, if the red light has already gone out, but halfbarriers are yet the be fully raised?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are standing before a level crossing with sign B-20 "STOP": the half-barriers are just going up, but they are not yet vertical; the question tells you to assume that the red lights have already gone out. Until the raising is finished, you must not enter the crossing. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits driving around lowered barriers or half-barriers and entering a crossing if they have started to go down or have not finished going up. Lights going out are not yet permission - what counts is the position of the half-barriers. You wait until they are vertical, then stop at the STOP sign, look both ways and only then drive across, without stopping on the tracks.
Legal basis: Art. 28 para. 3 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 21 para. 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
