  1. When parking uphill WITHOUT a curb in California, your wheels should be turned:

    Answer: Right — toward the edge of the road

    Without a curb uphill, turn wheels to the right so if the car rolls it moves off the road rather than into traffic.

  2. How far from a driveway entrance must you park in California?

    Answer: 5 feet

    You must not park within 5 feet of a public or private driveway entrance to allow vehicles to enter and exit freely.

  3. Parking in a green zone means:

    Answer: Time-limited parking, typically 10–15 minutes

    Green curbs indicate short-term time-limited parking, often 10 to 15 minutes as posted — for quick stops only.

  4. Where is it illegal to park in California even if no sign is posted?

    Answer: On a bridge or overpass

    Parking on bridges, in tunnels, on freeways, and on crosswalks is prohibited by California law regardless of posted signs.

  5. Double parking in California means:

    Answer: Parking alongside a vehicle already parked at the curb

    Double parking means stopping or parking alongside a vehicle that is already legally parked at the curb, blocking a travel lane.

  6. How far from a crosswalk at an intersection may you legally park in California?

    Answer: 20 feet

    California law requires you to park at least 20 feet from any crosswalk at an intersection to preserve pedestrian visibility.
