How must every driver behave when approaching a level crossing or a movable bridge?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to exercise extreme caution and reduce speed. According to Article 40 of the General Traffic Regulations, when approaching a level crossing or movable bridge, all drivers must reduce their speed below the maximum limit and increase their attention. This is essential to be able to stop the vehicle in time if the barriers start to lower, if the traffic light turns red, or if a train is approaching. The option to 'accelerate' is dangerous and prohibited. The option to 'stop in any case' is incorrect, as stopping is only mandatory if signals or circumstances require it; if the way is clear and signaling permits, you must cross without delay.
