Parking is not permitted within how many feet of an intersection?

  1. 15

  2. 20

  3. 30

  4. 50

The correct answer is: 20

Parking is not permitted within 20 feet of an intersection to ensure clear visibility and access for vehicles and pedestrians. This distance helps maintain safety at intersections, allowing drivers to see approaching traffic and giving pedestrians the space needed to cross safely. Adhering to this rule helps prevent accidents that can occur when vehicles are parked too close to intersection areas, obstructing the view of drivers as they turn or approach the intersection. Keeping this distance free from parked vehicles promotes smoother traffic flow and enhances overall road safety.
