You find an open curb space. If you park in it, your front bumper will be 10 feet from a fire hydrant. May you park there?
Blue A considers a curb space on a two-way street. Its front bumper is 10 feet before the fire hydrant, as stated in the stem.
Correct answer: No, because the minimum distance from a hydrant is 15 feet
Why
Firefighters need clear access to a hydrant to connect hoses quickly. The same 15-foot limit applies at the entrance to a fire station or a rescue squad station. Know the other distances in the list too, such as 20 feet from an intersection.
