Which parking violation prohibits parking on a sidewalk?

• A. Parked blocking private/public driveway
• B. Parked within 15 ft of fire hydrant
• C. Parked on sidewalk
• D. Stop/stand/park in violation of signage

Answer: (C)

Parking on a sidewalk is illegal because sidewalks are for pedestrians and must be kept clear for safe passage and accessibility. When a vehicle sits on the sidewalk, it blocks space for people walking, can push pedestrians into the street, and may hinder access for those using wheelchairs, strollers, or other mobility aids. The other violations describe different prohibitions—blocking a driveway, parking near a fire hydrant, or parking in violation of signs—but they don’t directly describe the act of parking on a sidewalk. Therefore, the specific issue addressed is the act of parking on a sidewalk.
