Which beacon indicates 'nearness' to a level crossing and places the vehicle at one-third of the distance from the danger warning sign?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 3 (Nearness Beacon). To identify these signs (P-9), use the 'countdown' rule: Proximity (3 stripes): The first sign encountered. Indicates the start of the alert zone. Approach (2 stripes): Indicates you have covered some ground and remain at two-thirds of the distance. Nearness (1 stripe): The last one before the danger. Indicates you are very close, only one-third of the distance remains between the first sign and the level crossing. Therefore, the sign indicating 'one-third of the distance' is always the one with a single red stripe.
