Practice question

How far should you park from a crosswalk?

  1. At least 10 feet
  2. At least 15 feet
  3. At least 20 feet
  4. At least 25 feet

Answer: C — At least 20 feet

Parking at least 20 feet away from a crosswalk is important for several reasons. This distance ensures that your vehicle does not obstruct pedestrian visibility or impede their ability to cross the roadway safely. It also allows drivers approaching the intersection to have a clear line of sight so they can see pedestrians waiting to cross or already in the crosswalk. Maintaining this distance promotes overall safety for both pedestrians and drivers. Additionally, it is often mandated by traffic laws to prevent accidents and enhance the flow of traffic near intersections.
