When entering city-street traffic from a full stop, what approximate gap should a driver look for?
Blue A waits at a side-road entrance. Silver B approaches on the through road. The picture does not establish a safe gap.
Correct answer: About half a block, or roughly 150 feet.
Why
A roughly 150-foot city-street gap helps a driver enter and build speed without forcing other traffic to brake.
