The manual prohibits parking within how many feet of a fire hydrant?
-
A.
20 feet
-
B.
25 feet
-
C.
15 feet Correct
-
D.
10 feet
The answer is "15 feet"
Fire hydrants get a fifteen-foot exclusion zone so a hose crew can reach the hydrant without dragging equipment around a parked bumper. Learners often confuse this with the twenty-foot crosswalk rule or the thirty-foot stop-sign rule listed just above and below it in the same section.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 20 feet
Twenty feet is the crosswalk exclusion, not the fire-hydrant one. This answer swaps the fire-hydrant figure for the 20-foot crosswalk figure listed on the same page.
B. 25 feet
Twenty-five feet is not a Pennsylvania parking distance. This answer assumes a wider buffer around emergency equipment than the manual actually sets.
D. 10 feet
Ten feet is not any of the parking distances the manual lists. This answer rounds the 15-foot fire-hydrant distance down to a smaller, more familiar number.
