  2. B
    15 feet
  3. C
    10 feet
  4. D
    50 feet

Answer

The minimum distance a driver must maintain when parking near a stop sign is 30 feet.
Standard traffic regulations require drivers to leave at least 30 feet of space when parking near a stop sign, yield sign, or traffic control signal so that approaching traffic maintains an unobstructed view of the sign.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the specific traffic control device mentioned in the parking scenario.
The scenario specifies parking near an intersection controlled by a stop sign.
Traffic safety regulations establish distinct minimum clearance distances based on the specific type of road feature or control device.
2
Apply standard statutory parking setback rules for traffic control devices.
Parking is prohibited within 30 feet of any stop sign, yield sign, or traffic control signal.
Maintaining a 30-foot clear zone prevents parked vehicles from blocking line-of-sight visibility for drivers approaching the intersection.
