How far should you stop from a railroad crossing?

10 feet
15 feet
20 feet
50 feet

The correct answer is: 50 feet

When approaching a railroad crossing, it is important to prioritize safety by stopping at an appropriate distance. Stopping at least 50 feet from a railroad crossing is advisable because this distance gives you a clear view of any oncoming trains and provides ample space for a safe stop. This distance also ensures that if there are any visuals or audible signals — such as flashing lights or bells — you will have time to react accordingly. The requirement to stop at this distance is a standard safety measure aimed at preventing accidents and ensuring that drivers are fully aware of any approaching trains. By maintaining a distance of 50 feet, you can avoid being struck by a train and protect not only your safety but the safety of any passengers in your vehicle as well.
