In this situation, are you obliged to stop your vehicle before the level crossing?

Description

Act of 20 June 1997 Road Traffic Act. (Journal of Laws 1997 No. 98 item 602, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

In the video, you are approaching a railway crossing where the barriers are fully raised and the light signal is not flashing red. There is also no B-20 'STOP' sign at this location that would require an absolute stop. According to Art. 28 para. 1, you are obliged to exercise extreme caution and ensure that no rail vehicle is approaching, but with the crossing open and no prohibition signals, stopping the vehicle is not required.
