What is the maximum speed allowed through a station when not stopping?

The maximum speed allowed through a station when not stopping is 15 MPH. This regulation helps ensure the safety of passengers boarding and disembarking at the station and reduces the risk of accidents.

At 15 MPH, a train can maintain reasonable control and provide a buffer for any unexpected situations that may arise, such as people or vehicles unexpectedly entering the train's path. This speed limit is a common standard adopted in many rail systems to prioritize safety while still allowing trains to maintain an efficient schedule. Other options, such as 10 MPH or 20 MPH, might also be relevant in specific contexts or different types of stations, but the established maximum speed in general practice that balances safety and efficiency is set at 15 MPH.
