Adriver must always stop within 50 ft but not less than __ ft from the nearest rail when the signal is flashing and the crossing gates are lowered. a. 15 b. 20 c. 25

The answer is C: The answer is 15 feet.

Flashing red lights, a ringing bell, lowered crossing gates, or a train approaching so closely at a railroad crossing means that you must stop at least 5 meters (15 feet), from the tracks. After stopping, the driver is required to wait until he can do cross over safely. Watch out for railroad grade crossing that are marked with warning devices and respect them all the time.
