Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You want to park an ordinary car on the approach side of the marked crosswalk shown. There is no curb extension, and no local exception or different marked distance applies. What minimum clearance must you leave?
An empty road has a marked crosswalk and a straight curb, with no curb extension. No parked car, clearance value or distance mark is shown.
Correct answer: 20 feet.
Why
Keep at least 20 feet clear on the vehicle approach side. The rule covers both marked and unmarked crosswalks. This question excludes curb extensions and local exceptions; do not use the hydrant distance for a crosswalk.
