Which speed category requires stopping short of obstructions and is not to exceed 25 MPH?

• A. No Clearance Area
• B. Pocket Tracks
• C. Restricted Speed
• D. Operations Bulletin

Answer: (C)

Restricted speed means you must be able to stop within the range of vision and be prepared to stop short of any obstruction. Because visibility or track conditions can limit how quickly you can see and react to hazards, this speed is intentionally low—not to exceed 25 mph—to give you enough time to stop if something unexpected appears on or near the track. The other terms reference track types or administrative communications rather than a speed rule, so they don’t describe a speed category.
