Are you allowed to drive into a level crossing if the half-barriers have been fully lifted and the red signal has not yet been switched off?
Description
Art. 5 and Art. 28 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended), in conjunction with § 98 para. 5, § 21 para. 4, § 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: No
Absolutely not. A flashing red light on the signal is an overriding signal and strictly prohibits entering the crossing, regardless of the position of the barriers. According to Art. 28 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, entering the crossing is permitted only after the barriers are fully raised AND the red light has gone out.
