Practice question

What is the minimum distance you must park away from a garage or driveway?

  1. 3 meters
  2. 5 meters
  3. 10 meters
  4. 15 meters

Answer: B — 5 meters

The correct minimum distance to park away from a garage or driveway is 5 meters. This rule is set to ensure that vehicles do not obstruct access to driveways or garages, allowing for safe entry and exit of vehicles. When a vehicle is parked too close, it can block the path of vehicles that need to enter or exit, which may lead to dangerous situations or impede traffic flow. By maintaining a distance of 5 meters, you help ensure that other drivers have adequate space to maneuver in and out of their driveways without having to veer into traffic or risk accidents. This regulation contributes to overall safety on the road and promotes courtesy among drivers.
