New York · Signs, Signals & Markings
A New York driver may not park within how many feet of a stop sign, yield sign, or traffic signal?
- 15 feet
- 20 feet
- 30 feet
- 50 feet
Correct answer
30 feet
Why this is correct
New York law prohibits parking within 30 feet of a stop sign, yield sign or traffic signal. Parking too close obscures the sign from approaching drivers, causing them to miss it entirely. This rule applies to all three sign types, though local signage may reduce or extend the prohibited zone.
