Explanation
When approaching within 100 feet of an uncontrolled railroad crossing (common in rural areas), reduce speed to 15 mph if visibility along the tracks is less than 400 feet in both directions. You may maintain higher speed only when the crossing features active safety controls - including functioning gates, warning signals, or a flagger - that provide clear indication it's safe to proceed.
