If you approach a railway crossing on a motorcycle, how will you make sure that a train is not approaching?

Explanation

Correct answer: By turning the head and observing the railway line directly.

The B-20 "STOP" sign obliges the driver to stop before the level crossing in order to safely assess the situation. Observing the tracks using only the mirrors is insufficient and does not guarantee that an approaching train will be seen. Therefore, the only effective way to ensure that it is safe to cross is to turn the head and look directly in both directions along the tracks.
