Practice question

At a railway crossing with a train coming, you should stop at least how far from the nearest rail?

  1. 3 metres
  2. 5 metres
  3. 2 metres
  4. 10 metres

Answer: B — 5 metres

It is important to stop at least 5 meters away from the nearest rail at a railway crossing when a train is approaching. This distance allows for enough room for the train to pass safely without causing any harm to your vehicle or passengers. Stopping at 3 meters, 2 meters, or even 10 meters may not provide enough clearance and could put you in danger. It is always best to err on the side of caution and stop at least 5 meters away from the rail.
