Can you drive through a level crossing without stopping if a train is not approaching?

Explanation

Correct answer: No

The visible B-20 "STOP" sign, placed before a railway crossing, imposes an absolute obligation on the driver to stop the vehicle. It is necessary to stop before entering the tracks, regardless of whether a train is approaching. Only after stopping and ensuring that the crossing is safe may the driver proceed.
