Answer: 2 miles
Feedback:
- The advance warning sign is a reminder to the train crew that a speed restriction is coming up. This allows the engineer time to reduce train speed, if necessary, while maintaining good train handling. - At the point where the reduced speed applies, a speed sign repeats the permissible speed - The lower speed is in effect until a resume speed sign or another speed sign is displayed
