In an Oklahoma town, the only open curb space on the block starts 12 feet from a fire hydrant. No sign is posted there. May you park in that space?
A is shown in the proposed curb space with its front 12 feet from a fire hydrant. No parking sign is posted, and no legal minimum is marked in the question.
Correct answer: No, because the law keeps cars at least 15 feet from a hydrant
Why
Firefighters need to reach a hydrant fast, and a car next to it can block their hoses. Oklahoma law does not let you stop, stand or park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, except to avoid other traffic or when an officer or a traffic-control device tells you to. In an area that a volunteer fire department serves, the local government can make the distance 30 feet by ordinance. When a space is too close, find another one.
