Show the correct answer

Correct answer

NO

Explanation

In the video you are driving along a road through a forest behind a silver car, and on the right you pass warning sign A-9 with a fence symbol, with countdown marker post G-1a with three bars below it. You are not approaching a level crossing without barriers - sign A-9 announces a level crossing with barriers or half-barriers. The answer is: no.

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 sign A-10 "level crossing without barriers" - with a locomotive symbol - warns of a crossing equipped with neither barriers nor half-barriers; marker post G-1a with three bars is placed below sign A-9 or A-10, and the next posts with two bars and one bar count down the distance to the tracks. Recognising the sign tells you what to expect: at a crossing with barriers, the lowering arms and a flashing red light tell you that the crossing is closing. The Road Traffic Act in any case requires you to exercise particular caution at a crossing and to make sure that no train is approaching - barriers and signals can fail, so from marker post G-1a you slow down and look towards the tracks.

Legal basis: § 6 para. 1 and 2 and § 78 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 28 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
