Parking is not allowed within how many feet of a railroad crossing?

  1. 30 feet

  2. 40 feet

  3. 50 feet

  4. 60 feet

The correct answer is: 50 feet

Parking is not permitted within 50 feet of a railroad crossing to ensure safety and visibility for both drivers and train operators. This distance provides a clear line of sight for vehicles approaching the crossing, allowing them to spot any oncoming trains well in advance. It also minimizes the potential for obstruction of an area that is critical for safe passage over the tracks. The regulation is designed to prevent accidents and ensure that drivers can make safe judgments when encountering railroad crossings.
