   AToward the curbBStraight ahead onlyCToward the centre of the roadDAway from the curb
   Show Answer & Explanation

   Correct Answer
   A. Toward the curb

   Park downhill with the front wheels turned toward the curb so a rolling vehicle is caught by the curb rather than rolling into traffic. Uphill (without a curb) the usual advice is wheels turned away from the curb or toward the shoulder, depending on configuration. Always set the parking brake. The curb is your backup if the transmission fails.

   AOnly if signs existBAny distance is fineCClose enough to block it is illegal; stay back from the crosswalk itselfDOnly at night
   Show Answer & Explanation

   Correct Answer
   C. Close enough to block it is illegal; stay back from the crosswalk itself

   Parking that blocks a crosswalk, stop sign sightline, fire hydrant access, or sidewalk is prohibited. Exact metric setbacks vary by provision and municipality, but the principle is fixed: never park where you hide pedestrians from drivers or force them into traffic. When in doubt, choose a legal marked stall — convenience is not a defence.
