Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You want to park on a street near a railroad crossing. The open space nearest the tracks would put your car about 40 feet from the nearest rail. May you park there?
A looks for a curb space before a railroad crossing. A dashed candidate outline ends 40 feet before the nearest rail, as stated in the caption. A crossbuck stands on a mast; no legal parking limit is shown.
Correct answer: No, because you must stay at least 50 feet from the nearest rail
Why
Parked cars near a crossing block the view of drivers who must look both ways for trains. They can also keep a stopped vehicle from moving clear of the tracks. Most crashes between a vehicle and a train kill the driver, so the law keeps this area open.
