Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A. Five metres

Why the other answers are wrong

  • B.Fifteen metres15 metres is the no-parking distance from a railway crossing — not the stopping distance for approaching trains.
  • C.Two metres2 metres is too close — the train's overhang extends beyond the rails and gates can swing.
  • D.Twenty-five metres25 metres is more than required; the legal minimum is 5 metres.
