Parking & Stopping Rules

When you parallel park in Pennsylvania, your wheels should be no more than how far from the curb?

  • A.24 inches
  • B.6 inches
  • C.18 inches
  • D.12 inches
Correct answer

D. 12 inches

Why

Your wheels must be within 12 inches of the curb when parked. Parking farther out narrows the travel lane and exposes your vehicle to passing traffic.
