Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You want to park at the curb near a fire hydrant. There are no signs or curb paint. What is the least distance you must leave between your car and the hydrant?
A blue car approaches curb parking near a hydrant with no curb paint or signs. It is well away from the answer parking point.
Correct answer: 15 feet
Why
Firefighters need room to reach and connect to the hydrant quickly, and a car parked too close can delay them. Other parking limits include 20 feet from a crosswalk and 30 feet from a stop sign or traffic signal.
