Parking

Memorize the no-parking distances: 15 feet from a fire hydrant, 30 feet from a signal or a stop or yield sign, 5 feet from a driveway, 50 feet from a railroad crossing, 75 feet from a fire station driveway across the street, 20 feet from a pedestrian safety zone. Stay within 12 inches of the curb, never face oncoming traffic, never double park.

On a hill, set the parking brake and then turn the wheels: downhill toward the curb, uphill away from it, and toward the edge whenever there is no curb. Open your door with the far hand and look back for bicyclists first.

Example: you want to park beside a fire hydrant with your rear bumper about 10 feet from it. That is illegal; you need at least 15 feet.
