Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
For ordinary parking on a public way, what minimum clear roadway width must remain for other vehicles?
Correct answer: 10 feet
Why
When parking on a public way, leave at least ten feet of clear, unobstructed width for other vehicles. The law also requires the specified approaching-driver sight distance; ten feet of width alone does not make the location lawful or safe. Limited exceptions apply to unavoidable disabling stops and specified utility work.
