When approaching a movable bridge, what are drivers required to do?
Right of way
Explanation
When approaching a **movable bridge**, drivers must **exercise extreme caution and reduce speed below the maximum allowed**. This is important because:
- **Reducing speed** allows more time to react to any unexpected situation, such as the movement of barriers or a traffic light signaling to stop.
- **Caution** is essential to correctly assess whether the bridge is safe to cross. If the bridge is closed or the barriers are moving, it is mandatory to stop and wait until the passage is clear.
- In the absence of barriers or traffic lights, it is crucial to check that no train or tram is approaching before crossing.
These measures help avoid dangerous situations, such as getting trapped on the movable bridge, which could jeopardize the safety of all vehicle occupants.
