On the test
How close to a crosswalk at an intersection may you park?
No closer than 20 feet. A car parked close to the crosswalk hides people stepping off the curb from drivers turning the corner. Arizona Driver License Manual and Customer Service Guide, p.31: “On a crosswalk or within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection.”
How this works
Most practice tests hand you a bank of questions and leave the manual somewhere else. This one puts them together.
You read one law and the reason behind it, then answer a question on that law while it is still fresh. Get it right and you move on; get it wrong and you have found the gap while it is cheap to fix, not on the morning of the exam.
Learning one rule at a time, and proving it immediately, is what turns a manual you skimmed into something you actually know — and it makes studying feel like getting somewhere rather than like waiting to find out.
