Which of the following is a location where Florida law prohibits passing within 100 feet?
-
A.
A posted advisory speed sign for a curve ahead
-
B.
A vehicle stopped at a crosswalk for a pedestrian
-
C.
An intersection, bridge, viaduct, tunnel, or railroad crossing Correct
-
D.
A private driveway or parking lot entrance
The answer is "An intersection, bridge, viaduct, tunnel, or railroad crossing"
Florida law bans passing within 100 feet of an intersection, bridge, viaduct, tunnel, or railroad crossing, because sight lines drop off without warning at these fixed features and closing speeds can be high. Drivers who pick D pull the driveway entry from the parking-prohibition list and misapply it to passing.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. A posted advisory speed sign for a curve ahead
Advisory speed signs warn of a slower curve but do not trigger the 100-foot ban; the manual bars passing on curves only where you cannot see 500 feet ahead. Treats the yellow curve-ahead sign as the trigger, when the manual actually keys the ban to a 500-foot sight-distance measurement.
B. A vehicle stopped at a crosswalk for a pedestrian
The crosswalk-yield ban is a separate bullet on the "You Must Not Pass" list with no distance attached to it. Attaches the 100-foot distance to the neighboring crosswalk bullet because both entries sit inside the same bulleted list.
D. A private driveway or parking lot entrance
Driveways do not appear on Florida's 100-foot passing-ban list. Pulls the "in front of driveways" entry from page 66's parking-prohibition list and applies it to passing.
