In the situation presented, are you entitled to drive through the level crossing without stopping, if there is no rail vehicle approaching?

Description

Art. 3 para. 1 and art. 28 para. 1 and 2 and art. 5 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 and 1448) and § 21 para. 1 pt. 1 in conjunction with para. 4 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: No

No, because the B-20 "STOP" sign is placed before the railway crossing. This sign requires you to bring your vehicle to a complete stop before driving onto the tracks, regardless of whether the barriers are raised or a train is approaching. Only after stopping and making sure it is safe to cross can you proceed.
