Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
For ordinary voluntary parking, with no officer direction or other exception, may you park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant?
Blue car A is parked beside the right curb with a hydrant on the sidewalk behind it. This is ordinary parking with no legal exception. Opposing traffic lanes have two solid yellow lines.
Correct answer: No; keep it clear for emergencies.
Why
No. Keep the statutory 15-foot hydrant clearance open for emergency access. Staying in the car or a quick passenger drop-off does not excuse ordinary prohibited parking. Traffic conflicts, official directions and specified disabled-vehicle situations have separate provisions.
