Turning near a railway crossing: who of the drivers violates the traffic rules.

Task from the topic of starting movement and changing direction. Who of the drivers violates the rules while making a turn in the situation depicted in the picture?

The task was suggested by the channel 'For! Rules'.

Answer options

1. Driver of the white car.
2. Driver of the blue car.
3. Both drivers violate the rules.
4. Neither driver violates the rules.

Analysis of the task

The driver of the white car intends to turn around after crossing the railway crossing, while the driver of the blue car plans to turn before the crossing.

Let's read paragraph 10.7 of the traffic rules:

'Turning is prohibited:

• at railway crossings;
• on bridges, overpasses, ramps and under them;
• in tunnels;
• where visibility of the road is less than 100 m in at least one direction;
• at pedestrian crossings and closer than 10 m from them on both sides, except in cases of permitted turning at intersections;
• on motorways, as well as on roads for cars, except at intersections and places marked by road signs 5.29 'Place for turning' or 5.30 'Turning zone'.

Both drivers are making a turn not at the crossing.
