Should you stop behind the stationary vehicle in this situation?

Should you stop behind the stationary vehicle in this situation?

Description

Art. 5 and art. 28 para. 3 pt. 4 of the Act of 20 June 1997, the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended), in conjunction with § 21 para. 4, § 98 para. 5 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, you must stop behind the vehicle. We are approaching a railway crossing where the light signal shows a red light, prohibiting entry. Since passing the vehicle stopped before the crossing is forbidden in this situation, the only correct behaviour is to stop and wait for the opportunity to continue driving.
