Which violation involves parking that blocks a driveway?

• A. Parked on sidewalk
• B. Parked within 15 ft of fire hydrant
• C. Parked driver's side to curb/Parked more than 12 in. from curb
• D. Parked blocking private/public driveway

Answer: (D)

Blocking a driveway is illegal because it prevents someone from entering or leaving a property, and can hinder emergency access, deliveries, and everyday use of the driveway. Parking in a way that blocks a private or public driveway directly obstructs that access, which is why this is the violation described. The other scenarios are separate parking rules: parking on a sidewalk runs into pedestrian safety concerns and is often prohibited; parking within a certain distance of a fire hydrant protects emergency access; parking with wheels too close or too far from the curb concerns proper vehicle alignment and street clearance. They address different safety and access issues, but they don’t involve blocking a driveway.
