What is the meaning of the following traffic sign?
- If you see the train’s lights, stop six meters before the crossing.
- A distance of about 170 meters to an approaching level crossing.
- A distance of approx. 100 meters on approach to a level crossing.
- A distance of about 250 meters to an approaching level crossing.
Correct answer: A distance of approx. 100 meters on approach to a level crossing.
Why this is the answer
Before a level crossing there is a series of marker posts at different distances. The post with one red stripe is the closest, about 100 metres before the crossing. There are separate signs for about 200 and about 300 metres.
