how far away from a hydrant can you park

The distance you can park from a fire hydrant varies depending on the location and the specific regulations in your area. In the United States, the typical distance is:

* 15 feet (4.5 meters) in many cities, including New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
* 10 feet (3 meters) in some cities, such as San Francisco and Boston.
* 20 feet (6 meters) in other areas, such as some suburbs or rural areas.

It’s essential to check the specific parking regulations in your area, as they can vary significantly. You can usually find this information on the website of your local parking authority, department of transportation, or by contacting your local government.

Additionally, some cities may have specific signs or markings indicating the no-parking zone around a fire hydrant. If you’re unsure, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and park in a different location to avoid receiving a parking ticket or fine.
