Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You stop your car 8 feet from a fire hydrant to wait for a friend. No sign or marking shows a different distance. When is this stop legal?
Correct answer: Only while a licensed driver sits in the front seat, ready to move the car at once.
Why
Firefighters must reach a hydrant and connect their hoses fast, and a car in the way can cost critical minutes. The 15-foot rule covers every kind of stop, not only parking, and it applies where no sign is posted. Local signs or markings can set a different distance.
