Final answer:
The statement about passing within 100 feet of an intersection or railroad crossing on a two-lane, two-way roadway is false for safety reasons, as it could endanger pedestrians and other road users.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer to the student's question 'It is permissible to pass on a two-lane, two-way roadway within 100 feet of an intersection or railroad crossing' is b. False. Traffic laws commonly state that it is not permissible to pass on a two-lane, two-way roadway within 100 feet of an intersection or railroad crossing to ensure the safety of all road users. This is because the visibility around intersections and crossings can be reduced and the behavior of other drivers or pedestrians can be unpredictable. Therefore, in the interest of pedestrian safety and ensuring no one is required to 'dodge traffic' to cross the street, it's essential that vehicles do not pass in areas close to intersections or railroad crossings.
