You are on a two-way Texas road approaching an intersection. According to the manual, how close to the intersection or a railroad crossing may you drive on the left side of the road?
-
A.
Only if no oncoming car is visible.
-
B.
Not at any point within 300 feet.
-
C.
Only after slowing to 20 mph.
-
D.
Not within 100 feet of it. Correct
The answer is "Not within 100 feet of it."
The manual bars driving on the left side of the road within 100 feet of, or while crossing, an intersection or a railroad crossing. Picking B adds a safety cushion the manual never sets; the ban begins at exactly 100 feet.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Only if no oncoming car is visible.
The prohibition holds even when the road ahead looks empty. This answer reads the rule as a visibility check rather than the fixed 100-foot ban the manual states.
B. Not at any point within 300 feet.
The Texas figure is 100 feet, not 300. This answer adds a safety cushion the manual never sets; the intersection ban begins at exactly 100 feet.
C. Only after slowing to 20 mph.
Speed does not lift the ban; the manual bars the move entirely inside 100 feet. This answer softens a flat prohibition into a speed condition, applying a school-zone habit that does not belong here.
