Railway intersections are considered dangerous and you must always pay attention and be careful when approaching an intersection with one or more railways.
You have to look closely and realize that the intersection is empty and there is no train coming.
Most of the tests found here are questions from the Al-Turi exam
Please focus and understand each sign and sign and their meanings.
Railroad crossings are different
- An intersection protected by a barrier
- An intersection not protected by a barrier
When you approach an intersection or train track, you will see these signs alerting you to this
- Sign No. 1 means that the intersection is protected by a barrier
- Sign No. 2 means that the intersection is not protected by a barrier
You will also see the following signs next to the road:
- Plate No. 1 means that you are approaching an intersection with a marking railway (it is the closest to you). The first plate you encounter
- Plate No. 2 means that you are getting closer to an intersection with a marking railway (the middle between you and the last plate).
- Plate No. 3 means that the intersection is directly in front of you (it is the closest to the intersection).
Example of paintings
The intersection is protected by a barrier that has barriers that close when a train arrives
There will also be a traffic light at the intersection that turns red when a train arrives
Example of an intersection protected by a barrier:
- No. 1: The girders that close when a train arrives
- No. 2: The traffic light turns red when a train arrives
In its normal state, the traffic light is not green, but rather flashing yellow
Even if the rails are not closed and the traffic light is yellow, you must check that there is no train coming
When the beams are raised, the traffic light remains red for several seconds
You do not have the right to drive until the signal becomes yellow and flashes normally. Then check that there is no train and cross calmly
The materials the beams are made of are not strong and are designed specifically for this purpose
That is, if your car gets stuck between the two beams, you can drive through the beams and it will break.
If your car breaks down in the middle of the intersection, and if you have enough time to try to get the car out, do the following
Note: This method is for cars with a regular gearbox (Manuel).
Put the gear in low gear, remove your foot from the clutch, turn the ignition switch and keep it turned
The vehicle will be propelled forward by the starter motor.
If your car is automatic, no method will work. Empty the gearbox, put it on the letter N, and push it, trying to get it out.
When the signal at the intersection is red, stop at an appropriate distance, turn off the engine if the train is long, and wait for it to cross
Example of an intersection not protected by a barrier:
In this picture, there are no crossings here as in the previous picture, and this is the intersection that is not protected by a barrier
When you want to cross this intersection, look closely before crossing and make sure that there is no train coming.
The thing that determines your speed at an intersection is the level of visibility and the road ahead.
Some intersections have a mandatory stop sign
Usually when visibility is poor so you must stop before crossing.
It is prohibited to park vehicles at railway crossings
At a distance of less than 30 meters before and after the railway.
There are various railway signs and boards, and I will put them here so that they are well understood and preserved
Tram lines and crossings
When you approach the tramway, you will see the sign:
You must give priority to the tram if there is no sign obligating the tram driver to give you priority.
