Where you can and cannot park

Parking rules exist to keep sight lines clear, keep emergency access open, and keep traffic flowing. The test likes the specific distances, so it is worth knowing them, but the underlying idea is simple: never park where you would block someone who needs to see or get through.

Never park or stop here

• Within 3 m of a fire hydrant
  Firefighters need clear access to it.
• Within 9 m of an intersection
  Or within 15 m of one controlled by traffic lights — so others can see.
• On or near a crosswalk
  Never block a crosswalk, sidewalk, or a pedestrian crossing.
• Blocking a driveway or the road
  Do not block a private driveway or leave too little room for traffic to pass.
• On a bridge or in a tunnel
  And not within 100 m of one on an open highway.

Parking on a hill

Turn your wheels so that, if the car ever rolled, it would roll away from traffic. Facing downhill, turn your wheels toward the curb. Facing uphill with a curb, turn them away from the curb so the tire catches it. With no curb, turn the wheels toward the edge of the road. Always set the parking brake and leave an automatic in Park.
