Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
A crosswalk has a curb extension. You are choosing an ordinary parking space on its approach side, with no local exception or different marked distance. What minimum clearance applies?
A marked crosswalk meets a curb extension that projects from the sidewalk into the parking edge. There is no parked car, distance value or chosen space.
Correct answer: 15 feet.
Why
Leave at least 15 feet where the crosswalk has a curb extension. A local authority can establish a different distance only under the statutory conditions; none applies here. Keep the crossing and accessible curb ramp clear.
