When considering whether or not to cross a railway crossing, remember a train can take up to how long to stop?

500 metres
1 kilometre
2 kilometres
5 kilometres

The correct answer is: 2 kilometres

A train can take up to 2 kilometers (not kilometers) to stop, which is the longest distance compared to the other options of 500 meters, 1 kilometer, and 5 kilometers. This is because trains are heavy and travel at high speeds, making it difficult for them to come to a sudden stop. It is important to remember this when approaching a railway crossing to ensure your safety and the safety of those on the train. Choosing any other distances for the stopping distance of a train may lead to underestimating the time needed to cross the tracks safely.
