What is the maximum legal distance for parallel parking your car to the curb?

  1. 6 feet

  2. 9 feet

  3. 12 feet

  4. 15 feet

The correct answer is: 12 feet

Parallel parking refers to parking your car parallel to the curb on a road. The maximum legal distance for parallel parking your car to the curb is 12 feet. This is because parking too far from the curb can obstruct traffic and pose as a safety hazard. Option A is too close to the curb and could potentially block pedestrian walkways and entrances. Option B is also too close and may not leave enough space for other vehicles to pass by. Option D is too far from the curb and could also obstruct traffic. Therefore, option C is the most suitable and legal distance for parallel parking.
