You find a curb space on a city street. If you park there, your front bumper will be 12 feet from a fire hydrant. There is no sign and no curb paint. May you park there?
Blue A faces east at a proposed curb space on a two-way street. A neutral bracket shows the front bumper 12 feet before a hydrant. There are no signs or painted curb restrictions.
Correct answer: No. You may not park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant.
Why
Firefighters need room to reach the hydrant and connect hoses fast. The distance rule applies even when there is no sign or painted curb, so leave a gap of at least 15 feet on each side of the hydrant. If you only need to drop off a rider, keep the stop short and stay with the car.
