You may park directly across the street from the entrance of a fire station:
- If the emergency vehicles have just left the station.
- During the night.
- In clear weather.
- Under no circumstances. ✓
Answer: D. Under no circumstances.
You may not park directly across from a fire station entrance under any circumstances.
Why this is the answer
The handbook lists parking on the side of a street opposite a fire station entrance within 75 feet as a place where you must not park. Directly across from the entrance falls inside that zone, so the rule applies regardless of the time, the weather, or whether emergency vehicles have just left. The handbook gives no exception for those conditions.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. If the emergency vehicles have just left the station. — Emergency vehicles having just left the station does not create an exception; the opposite-side zone is still listed as a place where parking is prohibited.
- B. During the night. — Parking at night is not an exception; the handbook does not limit the opposite-side restriction to daytime.
- C. In clear weather. — Clear weather is not an exception; the handbook does not make the opposite-side restriction depend on weather.
Remember it
Picture the curb directly across from a fire station entrance as inside a no-parking box, no matter what the conditions are.
