Before driving into the track-way directly before the vehicle in front, are you obliged to make sure that there is no rail vehicle approaching?
Description
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 § 21 para. 1 and 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: Yes
Yes, this is an absolute duty for every driver. According to Art. 28 of the Road Traffic Act, before driving onto the tracks, you must always make sure that no rail vehicle is approaching. The fact that another vehicle has just crossed does not absolve you of this duty, especially at a crossing marked with a B-20 "STOP" sign, which additionally requires you to stop.
