While you wait before a railroad crossing, a train has just passed. However, the warning bell is still ringing and the barrier is still down. What is the correct way to drive?
💡 Hint
You may not enter a railroad crossing while the barrier is down or the alarm is sounding (Article 24(2) of the Road Traffic Act). Think about why the alarm keeps sounding after a train has passed, and note that the duty to check for safety (Article 24(1)) remains even after the barrier goes up.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Article 24(2) of the Road Traffic Act forbids entering a crossing while the barrier is down or the warning bell is ringing. If the alarm continues after a train has passed, another train may be approaching from the opposite direction. Even after the barrier rises, you must check both ways before crossing, as Article 24(1) requires.
