New York · Parking
In New York, you may not park within how many feet of a fire hydrant?
- 5 feet
- 10 feet
- 15 feet
- 25 feet
Correct answer
15 feet
Why this is correct
New York prohibits parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, unless a licensed driver remains in the vehicle to move it if needed. The clearance allows firefighters to connect hoses from either side without squeezing around vehicles. Even a few minutes blocking a hydrant can cost lives in an active fire.
