What are you required to do according to the following road sign?

Question illustration
  1. Stop 2 meters before the railway tracks and check if a train is approaching.
  2. Drive faster and quickly cross the railway tracks.
  3. Slow down and prepare for a possible stop if necessary, before the railway tracks.· Correct answer
  4. If you see the train’s lights, stop 30 meters before the railway tracks.

Explanation

The railway crossing distance signs (130, 131, 132) warn of proximity to the track and require slowing down and preparing for a possible stop - not an immediate stop and not increasing speed.

How to approach it

Railway signs with diagonal stripes indicate distance - the fewer the stripes, the closer to the track

Common mistake

The diagonal stripes indicate distance: 3 stripes = 300m, 2 stripes = 200m, 1 stripe = 100m (more stripes = farther away)
