How far must you be from a fire hydrant when parking?

  1. 10 feet

  2. 15 feet

  3. 20 feet

  4. 25 feet

The correct answer is: 15 feet

The correct distance to park from a fire hydrant is 15 feet. This regulation is in place to ensure that firefighters have unobstructed access to the hydrant in case of an emergency. If a vehicle is parked too close, it can impede emergency services from quickly connecting a hose in the event of a fire, potentially causing delays that could endanger lives and property. This distance is consistent across many jurisdictions and is designed to provide a balance between parking availability and the operational needs of emergency responders. Knowing and adhering to this rule helps maintain safety and compliance with local traffic laws.
