A travels beside an open curb before a railroad crossing. The rails and crossbuck are visible; no parking space or distance is selected in the question.
Correct answer: 50 feet
Why
Cars parked near a crossing block the view of drivers who must look along the tracks for trains. They can also crowd vehicles that must stop at every crossing, such as school buses. You may stop there briefly while you actually load or unload people or goods, but never on the tracks.
