The speed limit at an uncontrolled railroad crossing is:
- 25 mph.
- 15 mph. ✓
- 20 mph.
Answer: B. 15 mph.
The speed limit at an uncontrolled railroad crossing is 15 mph.
Why this is the answer
The handbook sets 15 mph when you are within 100 feet of a crossing and your view of the tracks is blocked for 400 feet each way. It allows a higher speed only when gates, a warning signal, or a flagman controls the crossing. An uncontrolled crossing lacks those controls, so 15 mph applies. That is why the bank answer matches the handbook.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. 25 mph. — 25 mph is the school-zone speed limit in the handbook, not the limit for an uncontrolled railroad crossing.
- C. 20 mph. — 20 mph does not appear in the handbook for an uncontrolled railroad crossing; the stated limit there is 15 mph.
Remember it
If there are no gates, signals, or flagman, keep it at 15.
