Read the first 7 Traffic Enforcement Agent Parking and Traffic Regulations flashcards as text

  1. A car is parked blocking a driveway with no sign, and the property owner requests it be ticketed. What should the TEA do?

    Answer: Issue a summons since blocking a driveway is a violation regardless of signage

    Blocking a private driveway is a parking violation by law; no additional signage is required for enforcement.

  2. How should a TEA document a vehicle that has no readable license plate when issuing a summons?

    Answer: Record all visible identifying information such as make, model, color, and VIN if visible

    When a plate is missing or unreadable, the TEA records all available vehicle identifiers to allow the summons to be matched later.

  3. What is the minimum distance a vehicle must maintain from a stop sign when parking?

    Answer: 30 feet

    Most jurisdictions require vehicles to park at least 30 feet from a stop sign to preserve sight lines for drivers.

  4. A TEA discovers that a meter is broken and a car has been parked at it for two hours. What is the correct action?

    Answer: Do not issue a summons; note the broken meter and report it

    A malfunctioning meter is typically not the motorist's fault, so no summons is issued, but the meter must be reported for repair.

  5. Which document does a TEA use to track the number and type of summonses issued during a shift?

    Answer: A daily activity or summons log

    TEAs maintain a daily activity log or summons log that records each summons issued, including location and violation type.

  6. An ambulance with lights and sirens active approaches an intersection where a TEA is directing traffic. What should the TEA do?

    Answer: Clear the intersection immediately to allow the emergency vehicle to pass

    Emergency vehicles with active lights and sirens have the right of way, and TEAs must immediately clear the path.

  7. A TEA observes a vehicle with diplomatic license plates parked in a no-parking zone. What is the appropriate action?

    Answer: Do not issue a summons; document the incident and report it per agency protocol

    Diplomatic vehicles are protected by diplomatic immunity from enforcement; TEAs document and report the incident but cannot issue a valid summons.
