What speed must not be exceeded at Slow Speed?

• A. 15 mph
• B. 45 mph
• C. 30 mph
• D. 25 mph

Answer: (A)

Slow speed is the operating category used for precise, controlled movement in yards and restricted track areas where quick stopping and careful observation are essential. The limit in this category is 15 mph, so you must not exceed 15 mph. This lower speed allows you to stop within the distance you can see and react to any obstacle, a misaligned switch, or workers on or near the track, and it helps keep cars properly on the track while switching. The other numbers are simply higher speeds and do not apply to slow-speed operations.
