Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You want to park at the curb on the approach to a stop sign. No sign, marking or local rule sets a different distance. What is the closest distance from the stop sign at which you may park?
A is positioned at the curb before a STOP sign on the approach to an intersection. The proposed space has no distance label in the question image.
Correct answer: 50 feet
Why
Cars parked close to a stop sign can hide it from approaching drivers and block their view of the intersection. A town may set a different distance by ordinance, but not within 50 feet of a stop sign in a school zone during school hours (N.J.S.A. 39:4-138.6). The same 50-foot rule applies to the nearest rail of a railroad crossing.
