Are you obliged to stop in front of this level crossing even when you are sure that no train is approaching?

Description

§ 21 para. 4 and § 78 para. 5 pt. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, because the B-20 'STOP' sign is placed before the railway crossing. This sign imposes an absolute obligation on the driver to stop the vehicle, regardless of whether they believe a train is approaching. In this case, the stopping point is indicated by the G-3 sign, which is the 'St. Andrew's cross'.
