LLR Parking and Stopping Rules 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A yellow curb typically indicates:
- No parking at any time
- Loading and unloading only, no parking (Correct answer)
- 30-minute parking limit
- Parking for disabled persons only
Correct answer: Loading and unloading only, no parking
A yellow curb designates a loading and unloading zone where stopping is allowed only briefly for commercial loading purposes.
Question 2: How far from a crosswalk must you not park?
- 5 feet
- 10 feet
- 15 feet
- 20 feet (Correct answer)
Correct answer: 20 feet
Most states require you to park at least 20 feet from a crosswalk to ensure pedestrians can be seen by approaching drivers.
Question 3: When parking downhill without a curb, your front wheels should be turned:

- To the right (toward the road edge) (Correct answer)
- Straight ahead
- Fully locked in any direction
Correct answer: To the right (toward the road edge)
When parked downhill without a curb, turn wheels to the right so the vehicle rolls off the road if brakes fail, preventing it from entering traffic.
