Railroad lights flash and the gate is moving down. Where should you stop?
Blue A approaches from well upstream of a railroad crossing. A red lamp is active on the crossbuck mast and a striped gate is starting down. No stopping distance or point is marked.
Correct answer: Between 15 and 50 feet from the nearest rail.
Why
The railroad stop rule establishes a 15-to-50-foot stopping zone and prohibits driving around an activated gate.
