How far must you park your vehicle from a railroad crossing?

50 feet
20 feet
30 feet
15 feet

The correct answer is: 50 feet

Parking your vehicle at least 50 feet from a railroad crossing is important for safety reasons. This distance ensures that your vehicle does not obstruct the view of the tracks for both you and approaching trains, as well as for other road users. Maintaining this distance allows drivers and pedestrians to see oncoming trains clearly and also gives them enough space to react appropriately if a train is approaching. It helps to prevent accidents that may occur from being too close to the tracks, where visibility is limited. Keeping this safe distance aligns with traffic laws designed to promote safety at railway crossings.
