Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You want to park beside a rural road near a railroad crossing. The spot that you picked is 40 feet from the nearest rail. May you park there?
A approaches a railroad crossing on a rural two-lane road with a broad shoulder. A dashed proposed parking space lies fully off the roadway. Its closest end is marked 40 feet from the nearest rail.
Correct answer: No, because you may not park within 50 feet of the nearest rail.
Why
A parked vehicle near a crossing can block the view that drivers need to see an approaching train and the view of the train crew. It can also block the space that a vehicle needs to stop clear of the tracks. Never stop or park on the tracks themselves.
