Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
Why must you keep a parked vehicle clear of a fire hydrant?
Blue car A is parked facing right beside a curb. A fire hydrant stands on the sidewalk behind the car.
Correct answer: Fire crews need room to reach and use the hydrant
Why
Keep hydrants accessible for firefighting. For ordinary parking in Quebec, leave at least 3 m from a fire hydrant, and obey any additional posted restrictions. Do not assume that remaining in the car, using hazard lights or intending to stop briefly removes the restriction.
