From the same side as a fire station driveway, how close are you allowed to park?

• A. Within 10 feet
• B. Within 20 feet
• C. Within 30 feet
• D. Within 40 feet

Answer: (B)

Keep driveways for emergency access unobstructed. When you’re on the same side of the street as a fire station driveway, you must park at least twenty feet away from that driveway. This minimum distance gives fire trucks room to enter and leave the station and ensures responders aren’t blocked by parked cars. Parking closer than twenty feet could block the entrance, delaying emergency response. So aim for twenty feet or more from the driveway; ten feet is too close, while thirty or forty feet are also acceptable as long as you’re not closer than twenty.
