What is the required stopping distance from a flashing beacon, stop sign, or traffic signal?

  1. 25 feet

  2. 30 feet

  3. 40 feet

  4. 50 feet

The correct answer is: 50 feet

The required stopping distance from a flashing beacon, stop sign, or traffic signal is 50 feet. This distance is established to ensure that drivers have ample time to perceive the signal, make necessary decisions, and bring their vehicles to a complete stop safely. The 50-foot rule helps to enhance safety at intersections and areas where pedestrian traffic may also be present. This standard allows drivers enough space to stop without encroaching into the intersection or the lane of oncoming traffic, thereby reducing the risk of accidents.
