Are you warned in this situation of a level crossing with full barriers or half-barriers?

💡 Explanation

Correct answer: NO

🔍 Situation analysis: You are approaching a road marked with a warning sign depicting a locomotive. This sign indicates a railway crossing. Below the sign, there is a marker post with red stripes, which specifies the distance to the railway tracks.

📖 Principle explanation: The sign featuring a locomotive (A-10) warns of a railway crossing without barriers or half-barriers. If the crossing were equipped with barriers, the sign would additionally include a clear symbol of gates (A-9). The absence of the gate symbol means the crossing is not mechanically guarded, requiring the driver to exercise extreme caution.

💡 Tip: When you see a sign with only a locomotive, always assume the crossing is unguarded. Slow down, look clearly in both directions to ensure no train is approaching, and only then proceed.
