What must you do in this situation?

In this scenario, you are approaching a level crossing where a flagman is signaling you. According to German traffic regulations, if a flagman is present, you must always stop, as they are directing traffic for safety reasons.

The correct action is to stop in front of the level crossing. This is critical to ensure that you do not proceed into a potentially dangerous situation, such as an oncoming train. Driving past the flagman, whether to the left or right, is not permissible and would violate traffic rules aimed at protecting lives and ensuring orderly traffic flow. Following these rules is essential for everyone’s safety on the road.
