What is the minimum distance that parking is not allowed from a crosswalk at an intersection?

  1. 10 feet

  2. 15 feet

  3. 20 feet

  4. 25 feet

The correct answer is: 20 feet

The minimum distance that parking is not allowed from a crosswalk at an intersection is 20 feet. This regulation is in place to ensure that pedestrians have a clear line of sight when approaching and crossing intersections, enhancing safety for both pedestrians and drivers. By maintaining this distance, it prevents parked vehicles from obstructing visibility and allows adequate space for pedestrians to navigate the crosswalk without interference. Other distances specified in the options, such as 10 feet, 15 feet, or 25 feet, either do not provide enough clearance for safety or may be excessive in terms of maintaining usability of available parking space while still fostering a safe environment around intersections. The 20-foot rule strikes a balance between convenience for drivers looking for parking and the important need to keep pedestrian pathways clear.
