  3. C
    Move onto the railway tracks and wait behind the queue until traffic ahead begins to move
  4. D
    Proceed onto the crossing and rely on the amber warning light to give you enough warning to clear the rails

Cevap

Wait before the crossing until there is sufficient clear space on the far side for your entire vehicle.
Under UK Highway Code Rules 291 and 293, you must never drive onto a railway level crossing unless you can see that the road on the far side is sufficiently clear for your entire vehicle to cross without stopping. In queuing traffic, stopping before the white stop line prevents your car from becoming stranded on the rails if the queue comes to a sudden halt.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess the traffic conditions and exit space beyond the level crossing.
Identify that the exit road is currently congested and cannot yet accommodate another full vehicle length.
According to UK Highway Code Rule 291, a driver must never enter a level crossing unless they can clear it completely without stopping.
2
Bring the vehicle to a halt before the stop line, barrier, or road marking on the approach side.
The vehicle remains safely clear of the railway tracks while the exit space is occupied.
Stopping before the tracks prevents becoming stranded across the rails if traffic ahead halts unexpectedly.
3
Drive across the tracks only when traffic moves forward and creates adequate clearance on the far side.
The vehicle clears the entire railway corridor in a single continuous movement.
Maintaining continuous movement ensures the tracks remain unobstructed for passing trains at all times.
