15 feet
ADDITIONAL: Use caution when applying the above answer. That may be the law in some states. Other states (or municipalities) may have different restrictions.
A vehicle should never be parked closer than 15 feet to a fire hydrant. This distance is important to ensure that firefighters have quick and unobstructed access to the hydrant in case of an emergency. Parking too close can impede fire response efforts and may result in fines or towing.
In Virginia, the minimum distance away from a fire hydrant you must be parked is 15 feet.
In Texas, vehicles must be parked at least 15 feet away from a fire hydrant to ensure that firefighters have unobstructed access in case of an emergency. Violating this rule can result in fines and the potential towing of the vehicle. This regulation is crucial for public safety, as quick access to fire hydrants can save lives and property during a fire. Always check local regulations, as they may vary by city.
There is no universal answer to this - it varies by jurisldiction and local law. A good safe estimate is at least 15 feet either side of it.
A safe distance, there is no defined limits of this type as driving near parked cars is situational (at best).
Each state in the U.S. can vary on this law. Of the four states I have had a license, three allow no closer than 15 feet. (Washington state, North Carolina, Texas) Oregon lets you park as close as 10 feet to a hydrant.
driver of parked vehicle
If the other vehicle was parked, there was no other driver to have license, insurance or registration. The driver who hit the parked vehicle is at fault and is liable for all damages to the parked vehicle.
Yes, police can tow a vehicle parked on private property if it is illegally parked or if it is obstructing traffic or posing a safety hazard.
As long as the parked vehicle is parked properly and not illegally parked in any manner, then the vehicle that rear-ended the parked car is at fault. Now if the parked car is sitting illegally (such as double parked or parked in a no parking zone, etc.) then the parked car is at fault or even both the parked car AND the car that hits it are BOTH at fault.
Aeroplanes
10 feet, dont park near it unless you want a hoseline run through your car.
