California Car / Permit practice question · Parking & Stopping

You may not park within how many feet of a sidewalk wheelchair ramp for disabled persons?

Answer choices

• 3 feet— Correct answer
• 10 feet
• 15 feet
• There is no set distance

Why this is the answer

Never park within three feet of a sidewalk ramp built for disabled persons, and never park on or in front of a curb cut that gives wheelchair access to the sidewalk. The distance is three feet, not 10 or 15. The rule exists so the ramp stays clear for people who need it.
