Explanation
When approaching a railroad crossing where visibility of the tracks is less than 400 feet in both directions and there are no warning devices, the speed limit is 15 mph within 100 feet of the crossing. This ensures you have enough time to stop if a train is approaching. If the crossing is controlled by gates, warning signals, or a flagger, you may drive above 15 mph. However, slower speeds are always recommended when nearing a railroad crossing to allow sufficient time to stop safely if a train is approaching.
