When approaching a railroad crossing, where must you stop?
- A.Right on the nearest rail
- B.At least 100 feet before the crossing
- C.Only if you see a train
- D.Between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail
Correct answer
D. Between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail
Why
Stopping 15 to 50 feet from the nearest rail keeps your vehicle clear of a passing train while still giving you a view down the tracks. Stopping closer endangers the truck; stopping farther back can hide the crossing from your view.
