In this scenario, do you have the right to cross the railway tracks without being sure that there’s enough space to continue driving on the other side of the level crossing?
Explanation
Correct answer: No
No. You must not drive onto the tracks if you are not sure there is enough room on the other side of the crossing to continue. The photo shows a railway crossing with barriers. Stopping on the tracks because there is no room beyond the crossing is a direct threat to life. Under Art. 28 para. 3 pt. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, it is prohibited to enter a crossing if there is no room to continue on the other side.
