Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
On the approach to a traffic signal located at the side of the roadway, what is the minimum clearance for ordinary parking?
Correct answer: 30 feet.
Why
Under the ordinary rule, do not stand or park within 30 feet on the approach to a flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign or traffic-control signal located at the side of the roadway. This is an approach-side restriction, not a claim that every side of every intersection has a thirty-foot radius. Follow other posted and statutory restrictions as well.
