Ch. 5 · Driving Method

Within 5 meters before and after the edge of a railroad crossing, both stopping and parking are prohibited.

[True / False · Hard]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

The text states that 'railroad crossings and within 10 meters before and after their edges' are prohibited for stopping and parking. The '5 meters' in the question is incorrect; the correct distance is '10 meters.' This is a trick question that changes the number.
