You want to park beside a road near a railroad crossing. The only open space ends 35 feet from the nearest rail, and no sign is posted. What is correct?
A approaches a railroad crossing on a two-way road. A dashed shoulder space ends 35 feet from the nearest rail; the question measures only that stated space, with no parking-limit mark.
Correct answer: You must find another space, because the limit is 50 feet from the nearest rail.
Why
Cars that are parked near a railroad crossing can block the view of drivers and of the train crew, and they leave less room for a vehicle that must stop before the tracks. West Virginia law (17C-13-3) sets the 50-foot limit, measured from the nearest rail. The rule applies whether or not the crossing has gates or lights.
