Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
During ordinary voluntary parking where Connecticut’s general hydrant rule applies, how far must your vehicle stay from a fire hydrant?
A fire hydrant stands on the sidewalk beside an empty two-way road. A card says A hydrant beside the curb and Ordinary voluntary parking; no vehicle or measured gap is shown.
Correct answer: At least 10 feet.
Why
Keep at least 10 feet clear of the hydrant. This question concerns ordinary parking under the state rule. Emergency and maintenance vehicles, officer directions, emergency avoidance and qualifying local parking rules have separate provisions. Obey applicable signs and keep emergency access clear.
