You may not park your vehicle:

1. On the side of the freeway in an emergency.
2. Next to a red painted curb. ✓
3. Within 100 feet of an elementary school.

Answer: B. Next to a red painted curb.

You may not park next to a red painted curb, because a red curb means no stopping, standing, or parking.

Why this is the answer

The handbook explains that painted curb colors carry special parking rules. For a red curb, the rule is no stopping, standing, or parking. Buses may stop only at a red zone marked for buses. Since parking is specifically prohibited at a red curb, that choice matches the handbook rule. The other choices are not supported by the passages provided: neither freeway emergency parking nor a 100-foot school distance is covered in the text.

Why the other answers are wrong

• A. On the side of the freeway in an emergency. — The passages do not state a rule allowing or prohibiting parking on the side of a freeway in an emergency, so this choice is not supported by the handbook text.
• C. Within 100 feet of an elementary school. — The passages do not mention a 100-foot elementary school parking limit, so that distance is not the rule shown in the provided text.

Remember it

Picture red as “no stop at all” so you remember that even a quick stop is not allowed at a red curb.
