What is the maximum distance apart between purple paint marks on forest land?

• A. 50 feet
• B. 100 feet
• C. 150 feet
• D. 200 feet

Answer: (B)

Purple paint marks on forest land act as a notice that you’re entering restricted or protected areas, so they have to be placed with regular, predictable spacing to ensure the boundary is obvious as you move through the land. The rule sets a maximum of 100 feet between marks to keep the notice continuous; if marks were farther apart, someone could travel a stretch without seeing a marker and unintentionally trespass. This 100-foot standard balances clear notification with practicality, making it the best answer.
