Question 5002
At a railroad crossing, what must you do if the barrier is rising?
- Cross when the rest of the vehicles do, whether the barrier is moving or not.
- Cross when the barrier is high enough to allow it.
- Stop behind the other vehicles until the barrier is fully raised and allows you to cross.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Stop behind the other vehicles until the barrier is fully raised and allows you to cross.
A rising barrier still blocks the crossing. You stop behind the waiting vehicles and enter when it is fully raised and no longer moving. Other vehicles crossing early or your car already fitting underneath does not give you permission to cross. In the picture, the red traffic light is also still on.
