You should not park within ____ of an intersection.
- 20 feet ✓
- 30 feet
- 35 feet
- 45 feet
Answer: A. 20 feet
You should not park within 20 feet of an intersection crosswalk, so the correct choice is 20 feet.
Why this is the answer
The handbook's no-parking list sets a 20-foot limit from a crosswalk at an intersection. That is the intersection-related distance it gives. The nearby 30-foot rule is for approaching a flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign, or other traffic control signal at the side of the road, not for an intersection generally. The passages also say not to park within an intersection itself, but they do not give a separate distance for that. So the bank's 20-foot answer fits the listed crosswalk rule.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B. 30 feet — The 30-foot figure applies to the approach to a flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign, or other traffic control signal at the side of the road, not to an intersection generally.
- C. 35 feet — No 35-foot no-parking distance appears in the provided passages.
- D. 45 feet — No 45-foot no-parking distance appears in the provided passages.
Remember it
Link the number to the painted crosswalk: at an intersection, stay 20 feet back from that crossing.
