Will giving the level crossing number to the 112 operator help pinpoint the exact location of the level crossing where the vehicle has broken down?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes. The photo shows a yellow plate with the railway crossing number (148 006 879) and the emergency number (112). Every railway crossing in Poland has a unique identification number. Giving this number to the 112 operator lets the emergency services and the rail infrastructure manager pinpoint the crossing where the breakdown happened and act quickly.
