Texas Car / Permit practice question · Parking & Stopping
Texas law prohibits parking within how many feet of a crosswalk at an intersection?
Answer choices
- 20 feet— Correct answer
- 5 feet
- 50 feet
- 100 feet
Why this is the answer
Texas prohibits parking, standing or idling within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection. The same list sets other distances: 15 feet from a fire hydrant, and 30 feet from a flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign or similar signal beside the road. Five or fifty feet is not the crosswalk distance, so measure 20 feet.
