You should not park within ____ of a traffic control signal.
- 50 feet
- 30 feet ✓
- 35 feet
- 45 feet
Answer: B. 30 feet
You should not park within 30 feet of a traffic control signal.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's no-parking list sets a 30-foot limit on the approach to a flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign, or another traffic signal placed at the side of the road. That listed distance is the one the question asks about, so 30 feet is the correct choice. The passage gives the rule directly; it does not explain a separate reason for the distance, so the basis here is the stated no-parking zone rather than a consequence.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. 50 feet — 50 feet is the distance the handbook lists for a railroad crossing, not for a traffic control signal.
- C. 35 feet — 35 feet is not the no-parking distance the handbook gives for a traffic control signal.
- D. 45 feet — 45 feet does not appear in the handbook as the no-parking distance for a traffic control signal.
Remember it
Think 30 for roadside signals: on the approach, keep your parked car out of that 30-foot zone.
