Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You are choosing an ordinary parking place beside a fire hydrant. No officer or traffic-control device directs otherwise. What minimum clearance is required?
Correct answer: 15 feet.
Why
Do not stand or park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant under the ordinary rule. Keep this emergency access clear. The statute includes traffic-conflict, official-direction and certain temporary passenger-service exceptions; the question concerns ordinary parking with none of those circumstances.
