Texas Car / Permit practice question · Parking & Stopping
When you park on the approach to a stop sign, yield sign, or flashing signal placed at the side of the road, how far back must you stay?
Answer choices
- 30 feet— Correct answer
- 10 feet
- 50 feet
- 75 feet
Why this is the answer
You may not park, stand or idle within 30 feet upon the approach to a flashing signal, stop sign, yield sign or similar signal at the side of a road. Keeping this stretch clear lets approaching drivers see the control in time to obey it. Ten or fifty feet is not the distance the list sets.
