In this situation, do you have the right to overtake the vehicle in front of you to get across the railway crossing as swiftly as possible?

Explanation
Correct answer: No
No. Under Art. 28 para. 3 pt. 3 of the Road Traffic Act, overtaking is prohibited without exception on a railway crossing and immediately before it. The photo shows a vehicle approaching a crossing with a B-20 STOP sign and light signals. Overtaking here is prohibited whatever the circumstances and however much you want to get across quickly.
