Rules of the Road

When railway crossing gates are lowered or the red lights are flashing, you must stop at least how far from the nearest rail?

Ontario road sign — 5 metres (about 15 feet)
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: C. 5 metres (about 15 feet)

5 metres clearance protects vehicles from passing trains that overhang the rail. Gates and flashing lights indicate an oncoming train. Proceed only when both gates are up and lights have stopped.

Why the other answers are wrong

  • A.1 metre1 metre is too close — train overhang exceeds this.
  • B.3 metres3 metres is still within overhang risk.
  • D.10 metres10 metres is more than required.
