Home › CDL Practice Tests › Combination Vehicles Questions › Question 182
Before crossing tracks in traffic, what space check is essential for a long combination vehicle?
- A.Make sure there is enough room on the far side for the entire length of your vehicle to clear the tracks completely
- B.Only check that your tractor alone will fit past the tracks
- C.Space on the far side does not matter if the light is green
- D.You can always stop half on the tracks if traffic bunches up
Correct answer
A. Make sure there is enough room on the far side for the entire length of your vehicle to clear the tracks completely
Why
More long-vehicle train crashes happen because the driver crossed into a space that could not hold the whole outfit. If the full combination will not fit beyond the tracks, you wait before the tracks, not on them.
