Question Analysis
This question tests knowledge of Texas parking rules from the Texas Driver Handbook. The handbook states that when you park your vehicle, it must be visible to other drivers from at least 200 feet in each direction. This rule helps prevent collisions, especially on roads where vehicles may be parked along the shoulder or curb. The 200-foot visibility requirement applies to parking on a roadway or shoulder, ensuring that approaching traffic has enough time to see the parked vehicle and react safely.
Correct Answer Analysis
Correct Answer: 200 feet
The correct answer is 200 feet because the Texas Driver Handbook specifically requires that a parked vehicle be seen for at least 200 feet in each direction. This distance gives other drivers adequate time to notice the parked vehicle and adjust their speed or lane position, reducing the risk of rear-end or sideswipe crashes.
Wrong Options Analysis
Option: 100 feet
100 feet is not the required visibility distance for parking in Texas. While some other rules (such as turn signal distance or stopping near railroad crossings) may use 100 feet, the parking visibility rule specifically requires 200 feet.
Option: 50 feet
50 feet is far too short for a parked vehicle to be safely seen by approaching traffic. It does not meet the Texas requirement and would not provide enough reaction time for other drivers.
Option: 20 feet
20 feet is much too short and is not a standard visibility distance for parking. It would be unsafe and does not comply with Texas law, which requires 200 feet of visibility in each direction.
