Does the visible sign warn you of a level-crossing with barriers?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a shopping street in a town behind a lorry, you pass a pedestrian crossing and, on the right, warning sign A-9 with a fence symbol, and next to it marker post G-1a with three stripes. The visible signs warn of a level crossing with barriers. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign A-9 "level crossing with barriers" warns of a level crossing equipped with barriers or half-barriers, and that marker posts G-1a, G-1b and G-1c inform you that you are approaching the crossing, with the post with three stripes standing furthest from the tracks. The fence symbol distinguishes this sign from A-10 with a locomotive, which means a crossing without barriers. The Road Traffic Act requires you, when approaching a level crossing, to exercise particular caution and make sure that no rail vehicle is approaching, and it prohibits driving onto the crossing when the barriers are being lowered, are down or are being raised. From marker post G-1a you start to slow down and watch the crossing, and before the tracks you do not overtake, and you do not stop on them, even in a traffic jam.
Legal basis: § 6 para. 1 and § 78 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 28 para. 1 and para. 3 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
