There are no warning devices at the railroad crossing ahead, and in one direction you can see less than 400 feet along the tracks. What is the maximum speed allowed?

Answer options

Why

At a crossing that lacks any warning devices, a view of less than 400 feet along the tracks in one direction limits you to 15 mph. Moving that slowly gives you a chance to spot a train and brake well before the rails.
