Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You want to park on a street near a railroad crossing. The only open space is 30 feet from the crossing. According to the Virginia Driver's Manual, may you park there?
A considers parking beside the right curb 30 feet before the nearest rail. The official crossbuck is on the approach side of the crossing.
Correct answer: No, because you may not park within 50 feet of the crossing
Why
A car that is parked near a crossing can block other drivers' view of the tracks and of the crossing signals. It can also take the space that a driver needs to stop before the tracks. Trains can come at any time and from either direction, so keep this area clear.
