You may never park:
- On a one-way street
- At the entrance of a building
- In a crosswalk ✓
- Within 50 feet of a fire hydrant
Answer: C. In a crosswalk
You may never park in a crosswalk.
Why this is the answer
The parking regulations chapter lists statewide rules that apply even when no sign says so, and one of them is that you may not park on a sidewalk or in a crosswalk. The pedestrian chapter makes the same point, telling drivers not to block or park in crosswalks. Keeping the crosswalk clear leaves pedestrians a visible, safe place to cross, and it lets drivers behind you see people crossing instead of having their view blocked. The hydrant rule in the same list uses a much shorter distance, which is why the longer distance offered here does not match the handbook.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. On a one-way street — Nothing in the handbook bans parking on a one-way street; the statewide parking list covers sidewalks, crosswalks, intersections, railroad tracks, bridges, tunnels, driveways, hydrants and set distances from crossings, not one-way streets.
- B. At the entrance of a building — A building entrance is not on the handbook's list of places where parking is always prohibited, while a driveway in front of one is, so this choice names the wrong spot.
- D. Within 50 feet of a fire hydrant — The handbook sets the no-parking distance from a fire hydrant at 15 feet, not 50 feet, unless a licensed driver stays inside to move the car in an emergency.
Remember it
Picture the painted crosswalk lines as a reserved space for people on foot, and leave that space empty even when there is no sign telling you to.
