Practice question

Is it permissible to pass on a two-lane, two-way roadway within 100 feet of an intersection or railroad crossing?

  1. Yes, it is permissible
  2. No, it is not permissible
  3. Only if the speed limit is under 30 mph
  4. Yes, if no vehicles are present

Answer: B — No, it is not permissible

On a two-lane, two-way roadway, it is prohibited to pass within 100 feet of an intersection or railroad crossing. This regulation is in place to ensure safety, as passing in these areas can obstruct the view of other drivers, increase the risk of accidents, and make it more difficult to react to vehicles that may be stopping or maneuvering at intersections or might be approaching a railroad crossing. The law aims to promote safer driving conditions by preventing risky behaviors where visibility may be compromised and unexpected actions can occur. Therefore, the correct answer reflects the critical safety guidelines that every driver must follow when navigating roads.
