Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You drive to a store and plan to wait in the car for about ten minutes while a friend shops. The closest open curb space is 12 feet from a fire hydrant. What should you do?
A considers curb space 12 feet before a fire hydrant while its driver plans to stay in the car.
Correct answer: Use another space that is at least 15 feet from the hydrant.
Why
Firefighters need clear space to reach the hydrant and connect hoses fast, and a crew cannot wait for a driver to move. Only a brief stop to pick up or drop off a passenger is allowed in the hydrant zone. Look for the hydrant before you pull into a space, because snow or other cars can hide it.
