Passing target: 80% (24/30)
You approach a rural railroad crossing that has no lights or gates. Tall corn blocks your view of the tracks in both directions. No speed is posted. What is the highest speed that North Dakota law presumes is lawful as you come near the crossing?
A approaches an uncontrolled rural railroad crossing. Tall corn on both sides of the approach blocks the view along the tracks; a crossbuck is present, with no gates, warning lights or posted speed sign.
Correct answer: 20 mph
Why
The 20 mph limit gives you time to stop if a train comes into view at the last moment, and a train cannot stop for you. The same 20 mph applies near an intersection when your view is blocked, and near a school at recess or arrival and dismissal times. At a crossing with no signals, you alone decide whether it is safe to cross.
