Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You want to park at a curb near a fire hydrant. There are no signs or curb markings. What is the closest that your car may be to the hydrant?
A approaches a curb and fire hydrant with no signs or colored curb markings. No parking position or distance bracket has been selected.
Correct answer: 6 feet from the hydrant
Why
Firefighters need clear space to connect hoses to a hydrant quickly. A parked car in that space can delay the water supply during a fire. The rule also applies when you wait in the car, so you may stop there only for a moment to pick up or drop off a passenger.
