Texas Car / Permit practice question · Parking & Stopping
You may not park within how many feet of a fire hydrant in Texas?
Answer choices
- 3 feet
- 5 feet
- 10 feet
- 15 feet— Correct answer
Why this is the answer
Texas bars you from parking or standing within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, so firefighters can reach it. The same list sets other limits: 20 feet from a crosswalk at an intersection, and 30 feet before a flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign or similar traffic signal beside the road. Fifteen feet is the hydrant distance.
