N.J.S.A. 39:4-92 tells a motorist to steer right, stop, and wait for the emergency vehicle to pass, then keep at least 300 feet behind a signaling emergency vehicle. Testers invent a 100-foot New Jersey draft. Three hundred feet is the follow gap, separate from the 200-foot in-service fire-apparatus parking buffer. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official New Jersey handbook.

## How close to a New Jersey stop sign or railroad crossing may you park?
New Jersey lists both a railroad crossing and a stop sign at 50 feet on the no-parking list, along with 20 feet of a fire-station driveway and 75 feet on the opposite side. Fifty is the stop-sign and rail number; ten is the hydrant number. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official New Jersey handbook.

## When railroad crossing lights, bells, gates, or a flagger warn of a train in New Jersey, how far from the crossing must you stop?
New Jersey says a motorist must stop at least 15 feet from a railroad crossing when flashing red lights, ringing bells, descending or lowered gates, or flag signals warn of a train. Do not drive around a lowered gate. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official New Jersey handbook.

## How far before a New Jersey turn must a directional signal be given continuously?
New Jersey statute requires a right or left signal continuously during not less than the last 100 feet traveled before turning. Turn the signal off after the move so others do not think you are still turning. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official New Jersey handbook.

## How close to a crosswalk at a New Jersey intersection may you park?
New Jersey’s no-parking list uses 25 feet from a crosswalk at an intersection or the sideline of a street, except at alleys. Twenty-five is the crosswalk number testers swap with the more common 20-foot rule. Ten is the hydrant number. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official New Jersey handbook.

## A vehicle is approaching you in New Jersey with high beams on. What should you do, and may you flash yours back?
New Jersey tells a motorist facing oncoming high beams to look to the right of the road until the vehicle passes. Never flash high beams at the approaching motorist. Use dim beams for city driving, in traffic, when following, and when another vehicle is approaching. Parking lights are for a parked car, not a substitute for headlights. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official New Jersey handbook.

## How must a New Jersey driver overtake a person on a bicycle when a lane change is not possible?
N.J.S.A. 39:4-92.4 tells a New Jersey driver to change into a non-adjacent lane when it is possible and safe. If you cannot change lanes, leave at least four feet until you are safely past. If four feet is impossible or unsafe, slow to 25 mph or a lower posted speed, be prepared to stop, and pass only when it will not endanger the rider. Testers reuse a three-foot New Jersey myth. Four feet — or 25 mph — is the statute. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official New Jersey handbook.

## A New Jersey school or commercial bus is leaving the curb after picking up or dropping off passengers. What must other drivers do?
N.J.S.A. 39:4-87.1 requires non-emergency vehicles to yield to a school or commercial bus re-entering traffic after it picks up or drops off passengers. Once the bus is back in the normal flow, other drivers do not have to yield merely because it changes lanes. Testers keep yielding forever or skip commercial buses. The New Jersey duty is the re-entry, not every later merge. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official New Jersey handbook.

## White diamonds are painted in a New Jersey travel lane. What do they mark?
New Jersey white diamonds indicate high-occupancy-vehicle lanes reserved for a particular vehicle type or for vehicles carrying multiple riders, as identified by posted regulatory signs. Those signs also give the hours the HOV lane operates. Testers dive into a New Jersey diamond to pass. Stay out unless you meet the posted rule. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official New Jersey handbook.

## When you park parallel on a New Jersey roadway, how close must the curb side of the vehicle sit?
N.J.S.A. 39:4-135 requires a vehicle parked on a New Jersey roadway to sit parallel with the edge, headed in the direction of traffic, with the curb side within six inches of the roadway edge unless another New Jersey rule carves out an exception. Testers copy a 12-inch or 18-inch number from other states. Six inches is the New Jersey curb gap, separate from the 15-foot hydrant extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official New Jersey handbook.

## May you park on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped at a New Jersey curb?
N.J.S.A. 39:4-138 forbids standing or parking on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street — double parking. Testers squeeze alongside a New Jersey curb car to “just run in.” The travel lane stays a travel lane, separate from the six-inch curb extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official New Jersey handbook.

## How should you leave the wheels and gear when you park on a New Jersey street with a curb?
The official New Jersey Driver Manual turns the wheels toward the curb when facing downhill and puts an automatic in park or a manual in reverse. Facing uphill, it turns the wheels away from the curb and uses park or low. The hand brake is set in both cases. Testers leave a New Jersey car pointed straight on a grade. The wheel-and-gear pair is the trap, separate from the six-inch curb extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official New Jersey handbook.

## May you stop or park on a New Jersey sidewalk unless a police officer directs you or you are avoiding a crash?
The official New Jersey Driver Manual’s Do Not Park list, citing N.J.S.A. 39:4-138, includes a sidewalk among the places a motorist should never stop or park unless a police officer directs it or the stop avoids a crash. Testers treat a New Jersey walk as leftover stall space. The walk stays for people, separate from the hill-wheel extra. Practice wording is original; confirm the legal text in the official New Jersey handbook.
