When crossing a level crossing, what is the correct procedure to ensure safety?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to General Traffic Regulations, drivers must cross level crossings without delay and only after ensuring that, due to traffic conditions, there is no risk of becoming immobilized within the crossing.  Analysis of options: Correct: You must proceed without stopping on the tracks, but only if you are certain there is clear space on the other side. Incorrect: Crossing too slowly can be dangerous if a train approaches, and parking lights are not the determining factor here. Incorrect: Crossing 'at full speed' is highly dangerous due to surface irregularities (rails, bumps), which could cause a loss of control or suspension damage.
