Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You want to park along the curb of a city street near a corner. The cross street also has curbs, and no sign gives other rules. What is the closest distance to the curb line of the cross street at which you may park?
A approaches a curb space near an intersection. Both streets have curbs, and a short dashed reference extends the cross street’s near curb line; no parking distance is given in the question image.
Correct answer: 25 feet
Why
A car parked close to a corner hides pedestrians who step into the crosswalk and blocks the view of drivers who turn or cross. The 25-foot space in G.S. 20-162 keeps the view open for everyone at the intersection. Also, never park in the intersection itself or in front of a driveway.
