Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
Near a corner, you find an open curb space on the approach to a STOP sign on your side of the street. No sign or marking shows another distance. What is the closest distance to the STOP sign at which you may park?
An open curb space is on the approach to a roadside STOP sign at an intersection. No parked car or minimum-clearance mark is shown.
Correct answer: 30 feet
Why
A parked car, van or truck close to a sign or signal can hide it from the drivers behind, who then may not see that they must stop or yield. The same 30-foot distance applies to a flashing signal at the side of the road. Signs, markings or parking meters can set a different distance.
