How many feet away from a stop sign is parking prohibited?

  1. 15 feet

  2. 30 feet

  3. 50 feet

  4. 20 feet

The correct answer is: 30 feet

Parking is prohibited within 30 feet of a stop sign to ensure that the visibility of the sign is not obstructed for drivers approaching the intersection. This distance allows enough room for vehicles to maneuver safely and for drivers to see the stop sign well in advance, giving them adequate time to react. Moreover, keeping a clear zone around stop signs helps prevent accidents and enhances overall traffic safety. This regulation is in place to promote an orderly flow of traffic and to minimize potential hazards that could arise from parked vehicles too close to the intersection.
