True or False: To be classified as adjacent, tracks must be located on controlled tracks.

The statement is false. The classification of tracks as adjacent does not depend on whether they are located on controlled tracks. In the context of railroad operations, adjacent tracks are those that are physically close to each other, regardless of their control status.

Tracks can be adjacent even if one is not under signal control or is operated under different rules. This understanding is critical for the implementation of safety measures, particularly in the Roadway Worker Protection Program, as it affects how workers plan their activities when working near these tracks.

The other choices do not accurately reflect the criteria for tracks being classified as adjacent, emphasizing that the control of tracks is not a determining factor in this classification.
