How close can you be to an intersection, underpass, tunnel, or railroad crossing before you cannot pass?

50 feet
100 feet
150 feet
200 feet

The correct answer is: 100 feet

The correct answer is 100 feet. It is important to maintain a safe distance from intersections, underpasses, tunnels, and railroad crossings when considering passing another vehicle. Passing too close to these areas can be dangerous as visibility and space to maneuver may be limited. When you are within 100 feet of these locations, it is illegal to overtake and pass another vehicle. This regulation is in place to enhance safety by reducing the potential for accidents where visibility is compromised or where traffic patterns may change suddenly. Being aware of this distance helps drivers ensure they are considering their safety and the safety of others on the road. Understanding this distance is crucial for promoting safe driving practices, especially in areas with increased risks due to the presence of pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles.
