What is the minimum distance that it is permitted to park near a fire hydrant?

- Six meters from either side of the fire hydrant.
- Twelve meters from either side of the fire hydrant.
- Twenty meters from either side of the fire hydrant.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Two meters in any direction from the fire hydrant.
Parking is not allowed within two meters of a fire hydrant, in any direction, so two meters is the minimum permitted distance. Firefighters need fast, unobstructed access to the hydrant to connect their hoses in an emergency. The larger distances offered as options do not apply to hydrants, so do not confuse them.
