The manual prohibits parking within how many feet of a crosswalk at an intersection?
-
A.
50 feet
-
B.
10 feet
-
C.
30 feet
-
D.
20 feet Correct
The answer is "20 feet"
Intersection crosswalks get a twenty-foot buffer so drivers approaching the corner can see people stepping into the crosswalk. The parking-distance rules sit together in one bulleted list, and the numbers get swapped when a driver reaches for the wrong entry. The 30 feet in C belongs to the neighboring stop-sign and flashing-signal rule, not the crosswalk one.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 50 feet
Fifty feet is the railroad-crossing exclusion, not the crosswalk one. This answer reaches for the largest number in the parking-distance list on the assumption that pedestrians need the widest buffer.
B. 10 feet
Ten feet is not one of the parking distances the manual sets. This answer underestimates the crosswalk buffer by memory.
C. 30 feet
Thirty feet is the exclusion around a stop sign or flashing signal, not a crosswalk. This answer swaps the crosswalk figure for the 30-foot stop-sign and signal figure in the same list.
