Practice question

How many feet should you park away from a tunnel, an intersection, or a railroad crossing?

  1. 100 ft
  2. 50 ft
  3. 200 ft
  4. 300 ft

Answer: A — 100 ft

Parking a generous distance from tunnel entrances, intersections, and railroad crossings keeps sight lines open and leaves space for other vehicles to enter, exit, or react to changing conditions. When you’re parked too close, you can block the view for drivers coming from different directions, create a blind spot for pedestrians or cyclists, and interfere with trains or emergency vehicles that may need access. By staying back, you reduce the risk of collisions and make it easier for others to see you and for you to see them as traffic around these features changes. The idea is to prioritize safety and visibility in areas where hazards can appear suddenly.
