About the length of a firetruck would make common sense. Access to that fire hydrant could mean the difference of life and death of people if there is a fire near by. Most cities will have painted the curb red around hydrants.
Most U.S. states require at least 15 feet between a fire hydrant and a parked car. Some require more, like California, which requires 20.
It would be the car who had parked illegally because he was not parked in a legal spot.
10 feet, dont park near it unless you want a hoseline run through your car.
ask Micheal Jackson
No closer than 10 feet
When doing a repossession in Texas can you block their car in?Check with the local police departments. You probably can, as long as the car is NOT parked on private property.
15 feet in Miami-Dade County Florida else face a ticket!
Generally speaking, the driver in motion is considered to be at fault when a parked car is hit, even if the car was parked illegally. The exception to this would be if the car was parked in a dangerous, hard-to-see location and the driver in motion could not have reasonably avoided hitting it. For example, if a car is parked on a sharp curve in the travel lane of a narrow road, and the driver of a car driving around the curve at the speed limit would not be able to see the parked car until too close to it to avoid a collision, then the driver might not be liable for damage to the parked car, and indeed the driver who parked the car might be liable for damage to the car that hit it.
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.
The car that rolled into the parked car is at fault.
If a car is parked (so it wasnt moving, standing still), the other car is in fault.
The driver of the car that was driving when the accident occured. The owner of the parked car should not be responsible unless the car was parked in an illegal place or position.
