Questions Learners Have About Railway Crossing Safety

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Railway Crossing Safety, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

When am I required to stop at a railway crossing in the Netherlands?

You must stop at a railway crossing if flashing red lights are displayed, if barriers are closing or closed, if an authorised person (like a traffic officer or railway official) gives a stop signal, or if the road ahead is not clear enough for you to cross completely and safely.

What do flashing red lights at a railway crossing mean?

Flashing red lights at a railway crossing always mean you must stop. You are not allowed to proceed until the lights are off, even if the barriers are already up or an emergency vehicle is passing.

Is it allowed to cross a railway if the barriers are up but the red lights are still flashing?

No, you must wait until the red lights are completely off before crossing a railway, even if the barriers are already raised. Flashing red lights indicate a train is approaching or a dangerous situation is present.

What should I do if traffic blocks the railway crossing?

Never drive onto a railway crossing unless the road ahead is completely clear for you to cross without stopping on the tracks. If traffic is backed up, wait before the crossing until there is sufficient space on the other side.

What does a St Andrew's Cross sign indicate about the number of tracks?

A St Andrew's Cross sign with a single cross indicates one track, while a double cross indicates two or more tracks. It's a common misconception that a double cross strictly means two tracks; it simply signifies multiple tracks.
