Study Notes
Parking Regulations
- No stopping, standing, or parking signs indicate areas where all parking is prohibited.
- Parking is forbidden within 500 feet of a fire or a crash scene to ensure safety and access for emergency vehicles.
- Do not park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant to avoid obstructing access for firefighting operations.
Curb and Distance Rules
- Maintain a maximum distance of 12 inches from the curb when parking to avoid encroaching on the street.
- Parking is not allowed within 50 feet of the nearest rail of a railroad crossing for safety reasons.
- Avoid parking in front of any driveway, alley, theater, emergency exit, or fire escape to ensure clear access.
Visibility and Safety
- Do not park next to a road if it blocks the view of drivers turning at intersections, as this creates dangerous blind spots.
- Maintain a clear area within 30 feet of stop signs, traffic lights, or flashing beacons to ensure visibility for all drivers.
Locations to Avoid Parking
- Avoid parking in a lane of a highway outside city or village limits if there is a highway shoulder available.
- Parking is prohibited on or under a bridge, on an overpass, or in a tunnel unless otherwise posted, to prevent hazards.
- Never park on sidewalks or in front of public or private driveways, as this obstructs pedestrian pathways and access to properties.
Intersection Regulations
- Do not park within an intersection, crosswalk, or designated bike lane to ensure safety for all road users.
- Maintain a distance of 20 feet from a marked crosswalk, or 15 feet if there is no crosswalk, in relation to intersections.
Additional Prohibitions
- Never park on the street side of a legally parked vehicle, as this constitutes double parking and obstructs traffic.
- Avoid parking in a manner that obstructs the delivery of mail to rural mailboxes to ensure residents receive their mail without delay.
