Road SignsDifficulty: 2/5

You see this sign ahead: a red-bordered triangle with a black train engine symbol inside. As you approach the level crossing, traffic is queuing on the other side. How should you respond?

Explanation

The triangular warning sign with a train symbol indicates a level crossing ahead. The Highway Code Rule 291 states you must never drive onto a level crossing until the road is clear on the other side and you can fully clear it. You must not stop, queue or park on or near the crossing, and you should keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front so you are not forced to stop on the tracks.
