One question, worked through
A real-style question from this topic, with its full explanation. Take your time here; on the day you will have 15 seconds.
Heavy fault · 5 points
A half barrier closes your side of the road but the other side is clear. May you drive round it?
The answer
C — No, the barriers are still closed
Why
Art. 20.3, 1° forbids going onto the crossing while the barriers are closed. The half barrier leaves the opposite side clear as an escape route, not as a way in.
Why not
- A The ban does not depend on what you can see.
- B It is open so that a vehicle caught on the crossing can drive off it.
- D The code attaches no waiting time to the ban.

A mock exam draws on all of it, scored exactly like the real thing — 50 questions, 15 seconds each, five points for a heavy fault — and your readiness figure tells you honestly when this topic is done.
