At a railroad crossing, how many feet should you stop your vehicle?

15 feet
25 feet
30 feet
50 feet

The correct answer is: 50 feet

Stopping your vehicle at least 50 feet from a railroad crossing is essential for safety. This distance allows drivers to have a clear view of the tracks and any approaching trains, which is crucial given that trains can approach at high speeds and may not be immediately visible. By stopping at this distance, drivers can ensure they have ample time to observe any signals or gates that indicate a train's proximity, enhancing their ability to react safely and promptly. This practice not only adheres to safety regulations but also provides a buffer zone that helps prevent accidents, as it increases the visibility of both the train and the vehicle. In many areas, stopping at a greater distance than the minimum can also serve to protect against the risk of being caught on the tracks if a train approaches unexpectedly.
