Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
On a rural road outside city limits, you want to park on the approach to a stop sign at a crossroad. What is the closest to the stop sign that you may lawfully park?
Blue A approaches a STOP-controlled crossroad on a rural road and wants to park.
Correct answer: 30 feet
Why
A car parked too close to a stop sign can hide the sign and block the view of the crossroad. The same 30-foot rule applies to a flashing beacon or a traffic signal at the side of the road. Cities may post their own limits, so also check signs and curb paint.
