Passing is not permitted within __ feet of an intersection.

• A. 50 feet
• B. 100 feet
• C. 150 feet
• D. 200 feet

Answer: (B)

Passing is not allowed within 100 feet of an intersection because visibility and reaction time are reduced there. When you’re approaching an intersection, cross traffic and pedestrians can appear suddenly, and a safe pass requires enough space to complete the maneuver and return to your lane before you reach the intersection. The 100-foot buffer gives drivers time to notice oncoming traffic and avoid cutting in front of someone who may be turning or crossing. The other distances don’t match this rule: 50 feet is too close to safely complete the pass, while 150 or 200 feet are farther than the standard restriction for this scenario.
