What is slow speed?

• A. Not exceeding 15 MPH
• B. Not exceeding 25 MPH
• C. Not exceeding 10 MPH
• D. Not exceeding 20 MPH

Answer: (A)

Slow speed is the conservative operating speed used when work is being done on or near the track and when you need plenty of time to observe signals and react to hazards. In SMT-1, slow speed is defined as not exceeding 15 mph. This limit gives the crew enough stopping distance and reaction time to protect workers and equipment and to handle any unexpected conditions on the track. The other speeds listed do not represent this standard slow-speed definition in SMT-1 context; they correspond to different operating conditions or speed bands, not the established slow-speed limit.
