At what angle should you ideally cross railway or streetcar tracks?

  1. 45°

  2. 60°

  3. 75°

  4. 90°

The correct answer is: 90°

The ideal angle to cross railway or streetcar tracks is 90 degrees. This angle is important because it minimizes the risk of catching a tire or part of the vehicle on the tracks, which could lead to dangerous situations such as losing control or getting stuck. Crossing at a right angle ensures that the vehicle can safely navigate the tracks without the wheels being misaligned, making it easier to pass over them. Crossing at any angle other than 90 degrees could increase the likelihood of encountering issues, such as getting hung up on the rail or having a tire slip off the track, which can be especially hazardous for larger vehicles like trucks. Therefore, approaching and crossing tracks at a 90-degree angle is the safest practice.
