When you park your vehicle on a highway, how far should it be from the curb?

8 inches
12 inches
16 inches
24 inches

The correct answer is: 12 inches

When parking on a highway, it is important to leave enough distance between your vehicle and the curb to allow for other vehicles to pass by. 8 inches (A) is too close and could potentially cause damage to your vehicle or disrupt the flow of traffic. 16 inches (C) and 24 inches (D) are too far away from the curb and may limit the amount of space for other vehicles to pass. 12 inches (B) strikes a balance between being close enough to the curb and leaving enough space for other vehicles to pass. It is also a common measurement for parallel parking on highways.
