You are approaching a level crossing with barriers. Where must you wait if you would have to stop on the rails in case of traffic congestion?

You answered correctly. If traffic congestion means you might have to stop on the rails at a level crossing, you must wait in front of the St. Andrew's Cross. This ensures that your vehicle does not get stuck on the tracks, which could be extremely dangerous. The rule protects you from being on the rails when a train is approaching and prevents accidents. Always make sure the way is clear before crossing the tracks—never stop on or just before the rails. This principle applies at any level crossing in Germany.
