You must leave your car on the paved part of a highway outside a business or residential district. According to the Texas manual, from what minimum distance in each direction must the vehicle be visible?
-
A.
100 feet
-
B.
300 feet
-
C.
500 feet
-
D.
200 feet Correct
The answer is "200 feet"
The Texas manual sets a 200-foot visibility requirement in each direction when you cannot park off the paved road outside a business or residential district. The trap is 500 feet, the figure from the nighttime rule for dimming your high beams for oncoming traffic: a driver studying that headlight rule alongside this one carries the larger number forward into the parking answer.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. 100 feet
One hundred feet is not the distance the Texas manual sets for highway parking visibility outside a business or residential district. This answer carries the 100-foot turn-signal distance from the prior chapter into the parking rule.
B. 300 feet
Three hundred feet is not the visibility distance the Texas manual sets for parking on a highway outside a business or residential district. This answer substitutes the 300-foot high-beam dimming distance for a vehicle you are following at night, recalled from the headlight chapter, for the parking rule's own number.
C. 500 feet
Five hundred feet is not the Texas manual's parking visibility figure. This answer reaches for the 500-foot figure from the nighttime headlight-dimming rule for oncoming vehicles, on the guess that the biggest figure must be the safest one.
