You want to park and wait 20 minutes for a friend. The only open space is 35 feet from the nearest rail of a railroad crossing. May you park there?
A approaches a railroad crossing beside a shoulder. A dashed proposed parking space is marked 35 feet from the nearest rail, and the card states that the driver wants to wait there for 20 minutes.
Correct answer: No. You may not park within 50 feet of the nearest rail.
Why
A car parked near the tracks can block the view of drivers who must look for trains, and it can take the space that another driver needs to stop before the crossing. Never stop on the tracks. A train can need a mile and a half to stop.
