1. You are 16 and just received your Maryland learner's permit. How long must you hold it without any violations before you are eligible for a provisional license?
- A 3 months
- B 6 months
- C 9 months
- D 12 months
Correct answer: C. Maryland requires drivers under 18 to hold the learner's permit for at least nine violation-free months before moving up to a provisional license. A conviction restarts the wait, so think nine clean months to grow a new driver.
2. Before you can get a Maryland provisional license, how many supervised practice hours must a driver under age 25 record in the Practice and Skills Log?
- A 40 hours, including 5 at night
- B 60 hours, including 10 at night
- C 60 hours, including 6 at night
- D 30 hours, all in daylight
Correct answer: B. Maryland's Rookie Driver program requires at least 60 supervised practice hours, with at least 10 driven at night — from 30 minutes before sunset until 30 minutes after sunrise. Remember 60/10: six times ten, one tenth after dark.
3. You are 17 and have held your Maryland provisional license for two months. With no supervising driver aboard, which passengers under 18 may ride with you?
- A Any classmates, once you pass the road test
- B Only friends who already have licenses
- C Anyone, after the first 30 days
- D Immediate family members only
Correct answer: D. For the first 151 days with a Maryland provisional license, drivers under 18 may not carry passengers under 18 unless they are immediate family or a qualified supervising driver rides along. Plan on about five months of family-only trips.
4. You are under 18 with a Maryland provisional license. Which trip could you legally drive alone at 1:30 a.m.?
- A Driving home from your night-shift job
- B Picking up a friend from a party
- C Going out for late-night food
- D Heading to a midnight movie
Correct answer: A. Maryland bars unsupervised provisional drivers under 18 from driving between midnight and 5 a.m., except to or from a job, an official school activity, an organized volunteer program, or an athletic event. If it is not on that list, wait for morning.
5. While driving with a Maryland learner's permit or provisional license, when may you use a phone or any wireless device?
- A Anytime, with a hands-free setup
- B Only to make a 911 emergency call
- C Only when a parent or guardian calls
- D Only while stopped at a red light
Correct answer: B. Maryland's Rookie Driver restrictions ban learner's permit and provisional license holders from using any wireless device while driving, even hands-free. The one exception is calling 911. New drivers need every bit of attention on the road.
6. You have failed the Maryland knowledge test twice. How long must you wait before trying again?
- A Until the next business day
- B Three business days
- C At least seven calendar days
- D Thirty days
Correct answer: C. After one failure, Maryland's MVA lets you retest as soon as the next business day, but once you have failed two or more times you must wait at least seven calendar days. Use that week to restudy the manual.
7. How long must you hold a Maryland provisional license with a clean driving record before it converts to a full driver's license?
- A 6 months
- B 9 months
- C 12 months
- D 18 months
Correct answer: D. Maryland requires 18 conviction-free months on a provisional license before you graduate to a full license, and a conviction or probation before judgment restarts the clock. Drive clean for a year and a half to earn full privileges.
8. Who qualifies to supervise you while you practice with a Maryland learner's permit?
- A A licensed driver at least 21 years old with three years of driving experience, seated beside you
- B Any licensed driver who is at least 18 years old
- C Anyone in the car who holds a valid license
- D A driver over 25 seated anywhere in the vehicle
Correct answer: A. A Maryland supervising driver must be at least 21, licensed for at least three years, and sitting in the front passenger seat. Remember 21, 3, front seat — experienced help close enough to reach the wheel.
9. Unless signs show a different limit, what is the maximum legal speed on a Maryland highway in a business district?
- A 25 mph
- B 30 mph
- C 35 mph
- D 45 mph
Correct answer: B. Maryland law sets 30 mph as the default maximum in business districts. Storefronts mean parked cars, turning traffic, and crossing pedestrians, so the limit stays low. No sign in a shopping area? Think 30.
10. On a Maryland divided highway in other locations, with no posted limit, what is the maximum lawful speed?
- A 30 miles per hour on all highways in a business district
- B 50 miles per hour on undivided highways in other locations
- C 55 miles per hour on divided highways in other locations
- D 15 miles per hour in alleys in Baltimore County
Correct answer: C. Except as otherwise provided in this section, the maximum speed limits are: 50 miles per hour on undivided highways in other locations; and 55 miles per hour on divided highways in other locations. Testers invent leftover Maryland sixty-five courtesy.
11. A school bus ahead of you stops with its red lights flashing on an undivided Maryland road. What must you do?
- A Stop at least 20 feet from the bus and wait until the lights stop flashing
- B Slow to 15 mph and pass with care
- C Stop only if you can see children outside
- D Pass on the left when no traffic is coming
Correct answer: A. In Maryland you must stop at least 20 feet from a school bus with flashing red lights, whether behind it or approaching from the front, until the lights stop or the bus moves. Only a physical barrier between roadways exempts you.
12. Under Maryland's implied consent law, what did you agree to simply by driving on the state's public roads?
- A Vehicle searches at any time
- B Automatic electronic toll payment
- C Weekly license status checks
- D Taking an alcohol or drug test when an officer requests one
Correct answer: D. In Maryland, driving on public roads counts as consent to chemical testing when police suspect impairment, and refusing the test leads the MVA to suspend your license. Picking up the keys is the consent.
13. You are 19 and drive in Maryland on a provisional license. Police stop you and find you have been drinking alcohol. What can happen to your license?
- A Nothing, if you stayed below the adult limit
- B It can be suspended or revoked
- C You receive only a warning for a first offense
- D You pay a fine but keep full driving privileges
Correct answer: B. Every Maryland driver under 21 carries an alcohol restriction, so driving after drinking any alcohol can bring suspension or revocation of your license. Under 21, the only safe number of drinks before driving is zero.
14. Which of these phone uses is legal for a fully licensed adult driving in Maryland?
- A Texting while creeping along in slow traffic
- B Holding the phone up on speaker mode
- C Making a short hands-free call
- D Reading emails while stopped at a light
Correct answer: C. Maryland bans handheld phone use, including texting, statewide; only hands-free calls are allowed, and drivers under 18 may not use phones at all except to call 911. If your hand is holding it, it is illegal.
15. You approach a car stopped on a Maryland shoulder with its hazard lights flashing. What does the state's Move Over law require?
- A Change lanes away from it if safe, or slow to a safe speed
- B Come to a complete stop behind the vehicle
- C Honk your horn and maintain your speed
- D Turn on your high beams and pass quickly
Correct answer: A. Maryland's Move Over law covers any vehicle stopped with flashing lights, not just police cars. Move over when it is safe; if you cannot, slow down. The base violation costs $110 and one point. Flashing lights mean shift or slow.
16. Which agency administers the learner's-permit knowledge test in Maryland?
- A Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA)
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. In Maryland, driver licensing — including the permit knowledge test — is run by the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA). Federal agencies write guidance and fund programs, but they do not hand you a Maryland permit. When in doubt, start at the MVA site.
17. You need to confirm a Maryland permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) website or official Maryland driver handbook
- B A random social-media reel with no date
- C A forum post from 2014
- D Any paid app's splash screen
Correct answer: A. Practice sites, including this one, can be wrong or out of date. Maryland's MVA publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Maryland page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on Maryland roads?
- A Maryland's Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) and Maryland law
- B A national driving school franchise
- C Wikipedia editors
- D Your insurance agent's blog
Correct answer: A. GDL hours, night limits, and passenger rules are Maryland law, explained by the MVA. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Maryland version, not a generic US version.
19. What does the MVA officially call the Maryland permit written exam?
- A Knowledge Test (25-question noncommercial Class C test for the Learner's Instructional Permit)
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The MVA names the Maryland exam the Knowledge Test (25-question noncommercial Class C test for the Learner's Instructional Permit). Informal names like permit test or written test point at the same test. Use the official name when you book or look up retake rules.
20. Where is the official Maryland driver handbook published?
- A By the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) at its official handbook URL
- B Only as a paid paperback with no public copy
- C Exclusively inside a third-party app store listing
- D It is not published; testers invent questions
Correct answer: A. The MVA publishes the Maryland handbook for free. That book is the source the knowledge test is written from. Our questions are original study items grounded in those rules, not a substitute for reading the handbook.
21. What is the minimum age to apply for a learner's permit in Maryland?
- A 15 years, 9 months
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. Maryland lets you apply for a learner's permit at 15 years, 9 months, according to the MVA. You still have to pass the knowledge and vision screens and meet any parent-consent rules. Age opens the door; it does not skip the test.
22. How many questions are on the official Maryland Knowledge Test (25-question noncommercial Class C test for the Learner's Instructional Permit)?
- A 25
- B 10
- C 100
- D 5
Correct answer: A. The MVA publishes a 25-question Knowledge Test (25-question noncommercial Class C test for the Learner's Instructional Permit) in Maryland. Practice tests on this site are 30 questions so you can train in short sets; the real count is 25. Aim to beat the official passing score, not just finish.
23. How many questions must you answer correctly to pass the Maryland Knowledge Test (25-question noncommercial Class C test for the Learner's Instructional Permit)?
- A 22
- B 1
- C 25
- D 2
Correct answer: A. Maryland requires 22 correct out of 25 on the Knowledge Test (25-question noncommercial Class C test for the Learner's Instructional Permit). That is the MVA's published bar, not a rumor. Practice until you clear it with room to spare so one misread question does not fail you.
24. What passing score does the MVA publish for the Maryland Knowledge Test (25-question noncommercial Class C test for the Learner's Instructional Permit)?
- A 88%
- B 50%
- C 40%
- D 99%
Correct answer: A. You need 88% to pass the Maryland Knowledge Test (25-question noncommercial Class C test for the Learner's Instructional Permit). Percentages feel abstract until you miss a cluster of signs. Train above the line so test-day nerves do not drop you under 88%.
25. For a driver 21 or older in Maryland, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. Maryland sets the adult per-se limit at 0.08%. That is a legal line, not a recommendation to drink up to it. Impairment starts earlier, and Maryland can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
26. Drivers under 21 in Maryland are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A 0.02%
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. Maryland uses a zero-tolerance style rule for under-21 drivers: 0.02%. Adult limits do not apply to a teen permit holder. If you are under 21 in Maryland, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
27. Unless a sign posts another limit, the usual residential or city default in Maryland is:
- A 30 mph
- B 55 mph
- C 70 mph
- D 15 mph unless signed
Correct answer: A. Maryland's typical unposted residential / city default is 30 mph. School zones and work zones drop lower. If houses line the street and no sign argues, start at 30 mph and watch the next plaque.
28. What is the highest posted highway speed limit in Maryland?
- A 70 mph
- B 25 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 100 mph
Correct answer: A. Maryland's highest posted highway limit is 70 mph. Most stretches are lower, and work zones or weather can cut it further. Do not assume every freeway in Maryland is signed at the state maximum.
29. Can you take the official Maryland Knowledge Test (25-question noncommercial Class C test for the Learner's Instructional Permit) from home on the internet?
- A No. The MVA gives the Knowledge Test (25-question noncommercial Class C test for the Learner's Instructional Permit) in person, not as a take-home web exam
- B Yes, anyone may take it on a phone in bed
- C Yes, but only on social media
- D Yes, and a screenshot of a practice test counts
Correct answer: A. The MVA administers the Maryland Knowledge Test (25-question noncommercial Class C test for the Learner's Instructional Permit) in person. Practice tests online are study tools, not the official exam. Show up with the documents the MVA lists, and do not expect a home browser to replace the office test.
30. Which fee listing matches what the MVA currently publishes for a Maryland permit or license application?
- A New learner's permit (Type I, for applicants with no previous license): $65, which includes conversion to the full license. Type II permit for currently or previously licensed drivers: $45; corrected permit: $30.
- B There is never a fee in Maryland
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The MVA lists this Maryland amount: New learner's permit (Type I, for applicants with no previous license): $65, which includes conversion to the full license. Type II permit for currently or previously licensed drivers: $45; corrected permit: $30.. Fees change, and extras like photos or late replacements can stack. Confirm the number on the official fee page the day you go, and bring an accepted payment type.
31. Besides 60 supervised hours, what driver-education mix must a Maryland Rookie Driver under 18 complete?
- A 30 classroom hours and 6 hours behind the wheel
- B 6 classroom hours only
- C 40 road hours and no class
- D A parent-taught packet with no certified school
Correct answer: A. Rookie Driver pairs a nine-month violation-free learner hold and 60 hours (10 at night) with a 30-hour classroom course plus 6 behind-the-wheel hours. The parent log does not replace the certified school course.
32. For the first 151 days, which under-18 passengers may a Maryland provisional driver carry?
- A Only immediate family
- B One friend
- C Three classmates
- D Any number after midnight
Correct answer: A. The first 151 provisional days keep passengers under 18 to immediate family. Midnight to 5:00 a.m. unsupervised driving is also barred except for work, official school activities, organized volunteering, or athletic events.
33. How long must a Maryland provisional license stay conviction-free before it converts to a full license?
- A 18 months
- B 90 days
- C Six months
- D Until the day the teen turns 16
Correct answer: A. A Maryland provisional license converts to a full license only after 18 conviction-free months. Turning 18 mid-way does not skip that clean-record clock. A moving violation during the window keeps the license in provisional status until the slate is clean again.
34. After failing the Maryland knowledge test two or more times, how long must you wait between attempts?
- A At least 7 calendar days
- B The next business day still
- C 30 days
- D You may retest immediately
Correct answer: A. The first failure may be retested the next business day if an appointment is open. After two or more failures you wait at least 7 calendar days. A passing score stays valid for a maximum of 6 months, and MVA charges no separate knowledge-test fee.
35. How long does a passing Maryland knowledge-test score stay valid?
- A A maximum of 6 months
- B 30 days
- C Two years
- D Until age 21
Correct answer: A. MVA keeps a passing score for at most 6 months. Miss that window and you sit the 25-question Class C test again. You still need 22 correct — 88 percent — each time.
36. A Maryland steady red arrow is pointing the way you want to go. What must you do?
- A Come to a complete stop and wait; you may not go in that direction yet
- B Turn after a rolling stop
- C Treat it like a flashing yellow
- D Follow the circular green beside it
Correct answer: A. Maryland’s vehicle-signals chapter says that if you want to go in the direction a steady red arrow is pointing, you come to a complete stop and wait. The arrow is closing that movement until it changes.
37. Maryland also uses lane-use signals over some lanes. What are those signals for?
- A To show that traffic in some lanes can change direction by time of day
- B To replace speed-limit signs
- C To mark parking only
- D To signal railroad gates
Correct answer: A. Maryland notes that on some roads, traffic in some lanes can change with lane-use signals. A red X closes the lane; a green arrow opens it. Do not stay in a lane under a red X just because it was open this morning.
38. Maryland law requires headlights when you use windshield wipers in which conditions?
- A Inclement weather — bad weather that might cause unsafe conditions
- B Only after sunset
- C Never; wipers and lights are unrelated
- D Only on the Beltway
Correct answer: A. Maryland law requires headlights when you use windshield wipers in inclement weather. The manual defines that as bad weather that might cause unsafe conditions. Wipers on, lights on is the memory hook.
39. When driving in Maryland, you must turn headlights on anytime you cannot clearly see at least how far?
- A 1,000 feet
- B 100 feet
- C One mile
- D Headlights are never required in daylight
Correct answer: A. Maryland says you must turn headlights on anytime there is not enough light to clearly see at least 1,000 feet. Dim to low beams when following a vehicle 300 feet or less ahead. Parking lights do not replace headlights.
40. A Maryland funeral procession with headlights and hazard lights is moving through a red signal. What must other drivers do?
- A Yield until every vehicle in the procession has passed, even if you have a green light
- B Cut through on green
- C Join the line to get the same right-of-way
- D Honk to break the line
Correct answer: A. Maryland says vehicles in a funeral procession turn on headlights and flashing hazards so others give them the right-of-way. A procession vehicle with lights on may go through a red signal. Other drivers must yield even on green until the whole line has passed.
41. How far from a stopped Maryland school bus must you stop when you are behind it?
- A At least 20 feet from the back of the bus
- B Five feet
- C A car length on the bumper
- D You may creep past at 5 mph
Correct answer: A. Maryland tells drivers behind a stopped school bus to stop at least 20 feet from the back of the bus, and at least 20 feet from the front if you are meeting it. Twenty feet is the handbook number, not a car length.
42. A Maryland signal shows a flashing red arrow. After you stop, may you go that way?
- A Yes, after a complete stop and a yield to all other traffic and pedestrians, when the way is clear
- B No. Wait for a green arrow only
- C Yes, without stopping
- D Only trucks may go
Correct answer: A. Maryland’s flashing red arrow means come to a complete stop before the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection, yield to all other traffic and pedestrians, then proceed in the direction of the arrow when the way is clear. That is different from a steady red arrow, which holds you until the signal changes.
43. How close to a fire hydrant may you stand or park a vehicle in Maryland?
- A No closer than 15 feet
- B No closer than 10 feet
- C No closer than 50 feet
- D Against the hydrant if you stay in the car
Correct answer: A. Maryland Transportation Article § 21-1003(m) says a person may not stand or park a vehicle within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. Fifteen is the statewide hydrant number. The same section uses 20 feet from a crosswalk at an intersection (except in Baltimore City) and 30 feet on the approach to a roadside signal or stop sign.
44. A Maryland signal is a flashing yellow. What must you do?
- A Slow down and proceed with caution
- B Stop as at a stop sign
- C Speed up to clear the intersection
- D Wait for a green arrow
Correct answer: A. Maryland’s flashing yellow signal means slow down and proceed with caution. It is the caution display testers pair with flashing red, which requires a complete stop at the stop line or crosswalk before you may go.
45. A Maryland traffic signal is not working. Where must you stop?
- A At a clearly marked stop line, then treat the crossing with the care of a stop-controlled intersection
- B Wherever you like if no officer is present
- C In the middle of the intersection
- D Only if another car is already stopped
Correct answer: A. Maryland says everyone must obey traffic-control devices, and when a signal is not working you must stop at a clearly marked stop line. Then proceed only when the way is clear. Do not roll through a dark head as if it were green.
46. A Maryland signal is a flashing red (circular, not the arrow). What must you do?
- A Come to a complete stop at the stop line, then go when it is safe
- B Treat it as a flashing yellow
- C Wait for a circular green
- D Use it as a protected left
Correct answer: A. Maryland’s flashing red signal requires a complete stop at the stop line. After you stop, the right to go follows ordinary stop-sign rules. Do not confuse it with Maryland’s flashing red arrow, which is the turn-lane version of the same stop-then-go idea.
47. In Maryland winter weather, which surfaces does the handbook say freeze first?
- A Ramps and bridges freeze before roads
- B Only shaded parking lots
- C Only interstates
- D Only after 3 a.m.
Correct answer: A. Maryland’s inclement-weather chapter says ramps and bridges freeze before roads. Wet roads already cut traction. Expect black ice on those elevated surfaces first, even when the rest of the pavement still looks wet rather than white.
48. If a U-turn is allowed in Maryland, which lane should you finish in?
- A The outside or right-hand lane traveling in the opposite direction, after you yield to oncoming traffic
- B The fastest Maryland left lane
- C Any lane once you have started the turn
- D The shoulder
Correct answer: A. Maryland says U-turns can be extremely dangerous and are not legal everywhere. If one is allowed, signal left, stop and yield to traffic coming toward you, then turn into the outside or right-hand lane traveling the other way. Testers finish in the left lane. In Maryland the landing lane is the outside lane.
49. How much space does Maryland tell you to leave when you pass a bicyclist?
- A At least 3 feet between your vehicle and the bicycle
- B A Maryland mirror’s width after you honk
- C One foot if you stay under 25 mph
- D No extra space in a bike lane
Correct answer: A. Maryland says to pass a bicyclist as you would any slow-moving vehicle: be prepared to slow down, wait until oncoming traffic is clear, then leave at least 3 feet between your vehicle and the bicycle. Testers clip past in the same Maryland lane. Three feet is the pass gap, and you yield when you enter or cross a bike lane.
50. After a complete stop at a Maryland steady red, when may you turn left?
- A From a one-way street onto another one-way street, unless a sign prohibits turning on red
- B From any Maryland two-way street if the way looks empty
- C Never; Maryland bans every left on red
- D Only after a Maryland crossing guard nods
Correct answer: A. Maryland says that unless a sign prohibits turning on red, after a complete stop you may turn right, or turn left from a one-way street to another one-way street. Yield to pedestrians and all other traffic. Testers invent a Maryland ban on every left on red. The one-way-to-one-way left is written next to the right-on-red rule.
51. A Maryland pavement marking reserves the center lane as a two-way left-turn lane. Who may use it?
- A Vehicles traveling in either Maryland direction, and only to turn left
- B Only Maryland traffic going north, as a passing bay
- C Any Maryland driver as a through lane for two blocks
- D Only Maryland right turns from a driveway
Correct answer: A. Maryland’s lane-marking chapter says vehicles traveling in either direction can use the center lane to turn left. Testers treat a Maryland two-way left-turn stripe like a shortcut or a passing bay. Shared left turns only — not a through lane.
52. A Maryland reserved-lane sign shows a number of people. Who may use that HOV lane during the posted hours?
- A Only Maryland vehicles that have at least the number of people marked on the sign
- B Any Maryland car if the diamond looks faded
- C One Maryland driver if a motorcycle is ahead
- D Any number after the Maryland hours plaque falls off
Correct answer: A. Maryland reserved-lane markings say you may only use that lane if you have the number of people marked on the sign. Testers invent a two-person Maryland habit copied from another state. The digit on the plaque is the occupancy floor.
53. May you drive in Maryland with earplugs, a headset, or earphones in both ears?
- A No; Maryland forbids earplugs, headsets, or earphones in both ears, though a hearing-aid device is allowed
- B Yes, if the Maryland volume stays low
- C Only on a Maryland interstate
- D Yes, if you use Maryland flashers
Correct answer: A. Maryland’s headset chapter says you may not drive with earplugs, headsets, or earphones in both ears. Hearing-aid devices are allowed. Testers treat both-ear Maryland buds as a courtesy miss. One ear open, unless it is a hearing aid.
54. A Maryland travel lane has shared-use lane markings, also called sharrows. What are they telling you?
- A Bicycles share that Maryland travel lane with cars, so expect a rider in the lane
- B Park in the Maryland sharrow if your hazards are on
- C Treat a Maryland sharrow as a bus-only diamond
- D Ignore it; Maryland riders must stay on the sidewalk
Correct answer: A. Maryland’s pavement-marking chapter shows shared-use lane markings on roads that bicycles share with motor vehicles. Those markings tell you a rider may occupy the travel lane. Testers treat a Maryland sharrow like optional art. Expect a rider in the lane and give the three-foot pass the handbook already requires.
55. When you park on a Maryland two-way roadway next to a curb, how close must the right-hand wheels sit?
- A Parallel to the right-hand Maryland curb or roadway edge, with the right-hand wheels within 12 inches
- B Within 18 inches only, a number copied from other Maryland neighbors
- C Against the Maryland sidewalk if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a Maryland travel lane stays open
Correct answer: A. Maryland Transportation Article 21-1004 requires a vehicle stopped or parked on a two-way roadway to sit parallel to the right-hand curb or roadway edge, with the right-hand wheels within 12 inches of that curb or edge. Testers copy an 18-inch number from other states. Twelve inches is the Maryland curb gap, separate from the 15-foot hydrant extra.
56. How close to a Maryland fire-station driveway may you park, including on the opposite side of the highway?
- A No closer than 20 feet to the driveway, or 75 feet on the opposite Maryland side if that side is properly signposted
- B Fifteen feet, the Maryland hydrant number
- C Against the Maryland bay if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a Maryland sidewalk is clear
Correct answer: A. Maryland Transportation Article 21-1003(p) forbids standing or parking within 20 feet of a fire-station driveway, or within 75 feet of that entrance on the opposite side of the highway if that side is properly signposted. Testers reuse the 15-foot Maryland hydrant number here. Twenty and seventy-five keep the apparatus path clear.
57. How close to a crosswalk at a Maryland intersection may you stand or park, and where does that rule not apply?
- A No closer than 20 feet of that Maryland crosswalk, except the rule does not apply in Baltimore City
- B Thirty Maryland feet at every zebra, the roadside-signal number reused here
- C Fifteen Maryland feet, the hydrant number reused here
- D Against the Maryland zebra if flashers are on
Correct answer: A. Maryland Transportation Article 21-1003 forbids standing or parking within 20 feet of a crosswalk at an intersection, but that subsection does not apply in Baltimore City. Testers treat every Maryland zebra as a statewide 20-foot buffer. Twenty feet outside Baltimore City is the Maryland crosswalk trap, separate from the 12-inch curb and 20/75 fire-station extras.
58. May you stand or park in front of a private Maryland driveway?
- A No, unless the owner or occupant of that Maryland premises consents
- B Yes, if Maryland flashers are on
- C Only within five Maryland feet, a number copied from other states
- D Yes, if the Maryland hydrant is clear
Correct answer: A. Maryland Transportation Article 21-1003 forbids standing or parking in front of a private driveway without the consent of the owner or occupant of the premises. A public Maryland driveway has no such consent carve-out. Testers invent a five-foot Maryland driveway buffer copied from other states. Owner or occupant consent is the Maryland private-driveway trap.
59. May you stand or park on the roadway side of a vehicle already stopped at a Maryland curb?
- A No; Maryland forbids standing or parking on the roadway side of a vehicle already at the curb
- B Yes, if Maryland flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. on a Maryland street
