Traffic order and driving through intersectionsQuestion #16507
At a railway crossing there is no stop line, „Stop" sign, traffic light or lifting barrier. How far from the first rail must you stop?
Explanation
When a railway crossing has no stop line, no „Stop" sign, no traffic light and no lifting barrier, you must stop no closer than 10 m from the first rail. That distance lets you safely see an approaching train. Many drivers wrongly think it is enough to stop at any safe distance.
KET reference: KET 170: if a railway crossing has no stop line, „Stop" sign, traffic light or lifting barrier, the driver must stop no closer than 10 m from the first rail.
