Mid-block on a quiet street, away from any corner or driveway, you want to park at the curb near a fire hydrant. No sign is posted, and the curb is not painted. Which choice is legal?
A considers parking along an unpainted mid-block curb near a fire hydrant. There is no posted parking sign, corner or driveway in the scene.
Correct answer: Park 18 feet from the hydrant, and leave the car there while you shop
Why
Firefighters must reach a hydrant quickly and connect hoses with no car in the way. The 15-foot rule covers standing as well as parking, so staying in the car does not make a closer space legal; only a quick stop to pick up or drop off a passenger is allowed. Many other no-parking zones also apply without signs, such as 20 feet from a crosswalk at an intersection and 30 feet before a STOP sign.
