California CDL Class A Practice Exam

In California, how far must you be away from a crosswalk when stopped?

At least 5 feet At least 10 feet At least 15 feet At least 20 feet

Correct Answer:

At least 10 feet

Explanation:

In California, when you are stopping your vehicle at an intersection with a crosswalk, it's required to stop at least 10 feet away from the crosswalk. This distance is designed to ensure the safety of pedestrians by allowing them adequate space to cross without the risk of encountering a vehicle too close to the crosswalk. Additionally, keeping a safe distance allows drivers to have a clearer view of pedestrians who may be waiting to cross the street, ensuring that they can yield the right of way as required by law. Proper stopping distances contribute to overall traffic safety, helping both drivers and pedestrians navigate intersections more safely.
