How far must you park away from a crosswalk?

  1. 10 feet

  2. 15 feet

  3. 20 feet

  4. 25 feet

The correct answer is: 20 feet

Parking regulations are designed to ensure the safety of pedestrians and maintain clear visibility for drivers. In Minnesota, drivers are required to park at least 20 feet away from a crosswalk. This distance helps to provide a clear and unobstructed view for both pedestrians crossing the street and any oncoming vehicles, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. When vehicles are parked too close to crosswalks, they can block the sight lines, making it difficult for drivers to see pedestrians who may be waiting to cross or already in the crosswalk. By adhering to the regulation of parking at least 20 feet from crosswalks, drivers contribute to a safer environment for everyone using the road, especially vulnerable road users like pedestrians. The other distances mentioned do not meet the specific requirements set forth in Minnesota's traffic laws regarding safe parking near crosswalks.
