Explanation
At uncontrolled railroad crossings where visibility of the tracks is less than 400 feet in both directions, the speed limit is reduced to 15 mph within 100 feet of the crossing. This ensures drivers have enough time to react to approaching trains, stop before the tracks if necessary, and enhances overall safety. However, you may drive faster than 15 mph if the crossing is controlled by warning lights, gates, or a human flagger.
