Is it legal to pass within 100 feet of a railroad crossing?

Yes, if it is safe to do so
No, it is illegal
Yes, but only during daylight hours
No, only if signaled by another vehicle

The correct answer is: No, it is illegal

Passing within 100 feet of a railroad crossing is illegal because it poses significant safety risks. When a vehicle passes in this area, it can obstruct the view of oncoming trains for both the driver and other vehicles, leading to potentially dangerous situations. The law is in place to ensure that all roadway users are aware of the train's presence and can react accordingly in a timely manner. This rule helps to enhance safety at critical points where road traffic intersects with rail traffic, ensuring that drivers can stop safely if a train is approaching. Other options suggesting conditional legality do not align with the strict regulations established to prioritize safety around railroad crossings.
