Delaware Driver Education State Practice Test

How many feet away must a vehicle be parked from a stop sign?

1. 15 feet

2. 20 feet

3. 30 feet

4. 50 feet

The correct answer is: 30 feet

The correct distance to park a vehicle from a stop sign is 30 feet. This regulation is in place to ensure that the stop sign remains visible to drivers approaching the intersection. Parking too close to a stop sign can obstruct the view of the sign itself, making it difficult for other drivers to see it and comply with the traffic regulation. Maintaining this distance promotes safety by allowing adequate visibility for all road users, including pedestrians and other vehicles. Adhering to this guideline also helps prevent potential accidents that could occur if a driver is unable to see the stop sign in time.
