# MenkyoQuest — Question ch6_trap_03

Chapter: Ch. 6 Hazardous Areas
Section: 第1節 踏切 - 一時停止と安全確認
Type: True/False
Difficulty: medium

## Question
The area beyond the railroad crossing was a bit congested, but I judged that traffic would start moving soon, so I followed the vehicle in front and entered the crossing.

## Correct answer
False

## Explanation
The Rules of the Road state that when the area beyond the railroad crossing is congested and continuing forward would risk becoming immobilized within the crossing, you must not enter. Entering based on the subjective judgment that traffic will "start moving soon" is a violation.

## Driving school curriculum
Stage 1 – Topic 6: Intersections and railroad crossings

## Source passage (Rules of the Road)
Rules of the Road, Ch.6 §1 (Railroad crossings) — Stop at the stop position, open the window to confirm by sight and sound that no train is approaching, then cross in a gear you will not need to shift out of. Never enter when the alarm is ringing or the gate is closing.
