1. You just earned your Washington intermediate license. During your first 6 months, which passengers under age 20 may ride with you?
- A Any passengers, as long as a parent approves in writing
- B Up to three friends from your school
- C Only members of your immediate family
- D Anyone, but only on trips shorter than 10 miles
Correct answer: C. For the first six months, Washington intermediate licensees may carry passengers under 20 only if they are immediate family. Young passengers multiply crash risk for new drivers. Think: first six months, family only.
2. With a Washington intermediate license, during which hours are you barred from driving unless a licensed driver age 25 or older rides along?
- A 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
- B 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.
- C Midnight to 4 a.m.
- D 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Correct answer: B. Washington's intermediate license bans driving between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. unless you're supervised by a licensed driver 25 or older. Fatigue and dark roads raise teen crash rates. Remember the window: one to five.
3. Before you can get your first Washington driver license at 16 or 17, how much supervised practice driving must an adult certify?
- A 50 hours total, including 10 at night
- B 30 hours total, all during daylight
- C 100 hours total, including 20 at night
- D 40 hours total, including 5 at night
Correct answer: A. Washington requires 50 certified practice hours, 40 in daylight plus 10 at night, supervised by an experienced licensed adult. Night driving is riskier and needs its own practice. Memory hook: five-zero total, one-zero after dark.
4. How long must you hold a Washington instruction permit before you can apply for an intermediate license at age 16?
- A 30 days
- B 3 months
- C 1 year
- D At least 6 months
Correct answer: D. Washington teens must hold an instruction permit at least six months before getting an intermediate license. The waiting period guarantees a long stretch of supervised experience. Pair it up: six months holding, fifty hours practicing.
5. What happens if you violate your Washington intermediate license restrictions a second time?
- A You receive only a warning letter
- B Your license is suspended for 6 months or until you turn 18, whichever comes first
- C You must retake the knowledge test
- D You pay a fine but keep full driving privileges
Correct answer: B. A second violation suspends a Washington intermediate license for six months or until age 18, whichever comes first; a third suspends it until 18. Escalating penalties push teens to respect the limits. Remember: second equals six months.
6. As a Washington intermediate license holder, when may you use a hands-free phone while driving?
- A Only to report an emergency
- B Whenever you use voice commands
- C After your first 6 months of safe driving
- D Anytime, since hands-free is legal for adults
Correct answer: A. Intermediate licensees in Washington can't use wireless devices behind the wheel, even hands-free, except to report an emergency. New drivers need every bit of attention on the road. Hands-free still isn't risk-free.
7. How much does Washington charge for a first-time instruction permit?
- A $20
- B $25
- C $35
- D $45
Correct answer: C. Washington's learner permit costs $35, and the permit stays valid for one year with up to two renewals. Budget for separate testing fees, which vary by location. Tie it together: thirty-five dollars, twelve months.
8. You're approaching a fully posted school crosswalk in Washington. What speed limit applies in the marked school zone?
- A 25 mph
- B 20 mph
- C 15 mph
- D 30 mph
Correct answer: B. Washington school zones are 20 mph where posted, and the zone stretches 300 feet on each side of a marked crosswalk. Lower speed sharply cuts the chance a struck child dies. Think: two-zero near school doors.
9. Unless signs say otherwise, what is the default speed limit on Washington county roads?
- A twenty-five miles per hour on city streets
- B forty-five miles per hour on county roads
- C Fifty miles per hour on county roads
- D Sixty miles per hour on state highways only
Correct answer: C. Fifty miles per hour on county roads. Testers invent leftover Washington city-street default on a county road without any posted signs at all nearby here.
10. You're driving on an ocean beach in Grays Harbor County, Washington, where beach driving is allowed. What speed limit applies?
- A 25 mph, because the beach is treated as a state highway
- B 35 mph unless pedestrians are present
- C There is no speed limit on open sand
- D 45 mph during daylight hours
Correct answer: A. Washington treats drivable ocean beaches as state highways with a 25 mph limit, and pedestrians and bicyclists always have the right-of-way there. Sand, walkers, and waves demand city-street speed. Beach equals twenty-five.
11. Under Washington law, an adult driver commits DUI when a blood test taken within two hours of driving shows what THC level?
- A Any detectable THC
- B 1.00 nanogram per milliliter or more
- C 10.00 nanograms per milliliter or more
- D 5.00 nanograms per milliliter or more
Correct answer: D. Washington's DUI statute sets the THC threshold at 5.00 nanograms per milliliter of blood, measured within two hours of driving. Cannabis slows reaction time just like alcohol. Match the pair: 0.08 alcohol, 5.00 THC.
12. You're stopped at a red light in Washington. May you pick up your phone to read a text?
- A Yes, if your car is fully stopped
- B No, because the law still counts you as driving when temporarily stopped in traffic
- C Yes, but only for messages from family
- D Only if you finish before the light turns green
Correct answer: B. Washington's electronics law bans holding a personal device even while temporarily stopped at a light, because driving includes momentary delays in traffic. Eyes drift, lights change, crashes follow. Red light still means hands off.
13. While holding a Washington instruction permit, you're adjudicated for an offense involving alcohol. How does this affect your intermediate license application?
- A It has no effect if the offense didn't involve driving
- B It only delays your application by 30 days
- C You must simply complete an online awareness course
- D You can't qualify for the intermediate license
Correct answer: D. Washington bars applicants from an intermediate license if they were adjudicated for an alcohol or drug offense while holding their permit. The state wants sober habits before solo driving. One substance case, no early license.
14. On a multilane Washington highway, which situation allows you to stay in the left lane for an extended stretch?
- A Overtaking and passing slower traffic
- B Driving exactly the posted speed limit
- C Having an exit coming up within 10 miles
- D Traveling during light traffic at night
Correct answer: A. Washington's keep-right law reserves the left lane mainly for passing; continuously driving there while impeding other traffic is an infraction. Blocked left lanes breed tailgating and road rage. Pass, then slide back right.
15. A tow truck sits on a Washington shoulder with lights flashing where the limit is 60 mph. If you can't safely change lanes, what must you do?
- A Continue at 60 mph but turn on your hazard lights
- B Stop completely until workers wave you past
- C Slow to no more than 50 mph while passing the emergency zone
- D Honk to alert the workers as you pass
Correct answer: C. Washington's move-over law says slow at least 10 mph below the posted limit near an emergency zone, and never above 50 mph where limits are 60 or higher. Give roadside workers room to survive. Move over or slow way down.
16. Which agency administers the learner's-permit knowledge test in Washington?
- A Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL)
- B The Federal Highway Administration
- C The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
- D The US Department of Education
Correct answer: A. In Washington, driver licensing — including the permit knowledge test — is run by the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL). Federal agencies write guidance and fund programs, but they do not hand you a Washington permit. When in doubt, start at the DOL site.
17. You need to confirm a Washington permit rule you saw on a practice site. What is the authoritative place to check?
- A The Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) website or official Washington 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. Washington's DOL publishes the handbook and the current rule. If two sources disagree, the official Washington page wins. Date-stamp what you read.
18. Who writes the official new-driver (graduated licensing) rules that apply on Washington roads?
- A The Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) and Washington 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 Washington law, explained by the DOL. A school or insurer may summarize them, but they are not the source. Learn the Washington version, not a generic US version.
19. What does the Washington DOL officially call the written exam?
- A The knowledge test is a written multiple-choice test.
- B The federal interstate qualifying exam
- C The commercial learner permit skills pad
- D The motorcycle only road course
Correct answer: A. The official Washington DOL page says The knowledge test is a written multiple-choice test. Testers invent leftover federal exam names. Knowledge test is the official name.
20. Where is the official Washington driver handbook published?
- A By the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL) 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 DOL publishes the Washington 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 Washington?
- A 15
- B 14
- C 18
- D 21
Correct answer: A. Washington lets you apply for a learner's permit at 15, according to the DOL. 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 Washington knowledge test?
- A 40
- B 10
- C 100
- D 5
Correct answer: A. The DOL publishes a 40-question knowledge test in Washington. Practice tests on this site are 30 questions so you can train in short sets; the real count is 40. Aim to beat the official passing score, not just finish.
23. How many questions must you answer correctly to pass the Washington knowledge test?
- A 32
- B 1
- C 40
- D 2
Correct answer: A. Washington requires 32 correct out of 40 on the knowledge test. That is the DOL's published bar, not a rumor. Practice until you clear it with room to spare so one misread question does not fail you.
24. How many correct answers does the Washington DOL require on the knowledge test?
- A You must get 32 out of 40 correct answers to pass
- B 50%
- C 40%
- D 99%
Correct answer: A. The official Washington DOL testing page says You must get 32 out of 40 correct answers to pass. Testers invent leftover 99% bars. Thirty-two of forty is the official line.
25. For a driver 21 or older in Washington, the per-se BAC limit is:
- A 0.08%
- B 0.12%
- C 0.15%
- D 0.20%
Correct answer: A. Washington 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 Washington can still charge you for unsafe driving below the number.
26. Drivers under 21 in Washington are over the youth alcohol limit at which level?
- A 0.02%
- B 0.08%
- C 0.10%
- D 0.15%
Correct answer: A. Washington 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 Washington, treat alcohol and keys as incompatible.
27. Unless a sign posts another limit, the usual residential or city default in Washington is:
- A 25 mph
- B 55 mph
- C 70 mph
- D 15 mph unless signed
Correct answer: A. Washington's typical unposted residential / city default is 25 mph. School zones and work zones drop lower. If houses line the street and no sign argues, start at 25 mph and watch the next plaque.
28. What Move Over speed rule does Washington publish at an emergency scene?
- A Slow down to 10 mph below the posted speed limit.
- B 75 mph
- C 25 mph
- D 15 mph
Correct answer: A. The official Washington Driver Guide Move Over panel says Slow down to 10 mph below the posted speed limit. The leftover “highest posted highway speed limit is 70 mph” claim is not in that extract; this nearby official speed rule is.
29. Can you take the official Washington knowledge test from home on the internet?
- A No. The DOL gives the knowledge test 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 DOL administers the Washington knowledge test in person. Practice tests online are study tools, not the official exam. Show up with the documents the DOL lists, and do not expect a home browser to replace the office test.
30. Which fee listing matches what the DOL currently publishes for a Washington permit or license application?
- A $35 instruction permit fee (permit valid 1 year, renewable twice). Knowledge and drive test fees are charged separately by approved testing locations and vary by location.
- B There is never a fee in Washington
- C $2 cash only, no card, nationwide
- D A $400 federal permit surcharge paid to NHTSA
Correct answer: A. The DOL lists this Washington amount: $35 instruction permit fee (permit valid 1 year, renewable twice). Knowledge and drive test fees are charged separately by approved testing locations and vary by location.. 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. A Washington teen gets an instruction permit at 15½ without an approved driver-training course. When can they be licensed?
- A Not until they turn 18
- B At 16 with a parent letter
- C At 15 years and 6 months
- D Immediately after 50 practice hours
Correct answer: A. Without driver training, Washington will not issue an intermediate license before 18. The 15-year-old permit path still requires the course to license at 16 or 17, plus a six-month hold and 50 hours including 10 at night.
32. After the first six months, how many passengers under 20 who are not immediate family may a Washington intermediate licensee carry?
- A Three
- B None until 18
- C One forever
- D Any number after 1:00 a.m.
Correct answer: A. The first six months keep under-20 riders off limits except immediate family. For the next six months DOL allows up to three. The night rule (1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. without a licensed driver 25 or older) still applies.
33. How long is a Washington instruction permit valid, and how often may it be renewed?
- A One year, and it may be renewed twice
- B 90 days with no renewal
- C Until the 16th birthday only
- D Two years with unlimited renewals
Correct answer: A. The permit lasts one year and may be renewed twice. The $35 permit fee is separate from knowledge and drive-test fees charged by approved testing locations. A passing knowledge score stays valid for two years.
34. How long does a passing Washington knowledge-test score stay valid?
- A Two years
- B 90 days
- C Until the permit expires
- D Five years
Correct answer: A. DOL keeps a passing knowledge score for two years. If you fail, a waiting period may apply and each attempt may cost that testing location's fee. Do not assume a pass lasts forever.
35. At 15, when may a Washington teen apply for an instruction permit?
- A If enrolled in an approved driver-training course
- B With a parent note and no course
- C Only after turning 16
- D Only after 50 practice hours
Correct answer: A. Washington opens the permit at 15 for teens enrolled in an approved driver-training course, or at 15½ without one. The no-course path still blocks a license until 18.
36. When does Washington law say you need headlights on, as a clock rule?
- A From a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise
- B From sunset to sunrise exactly
- C From 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. only
- D Never in twilight
Correct answer: A. Washington’s clock rule is a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise — later to start and earlier to end than a plain sunset-to-sunrise rule. The guide still recommends lights anytime, and in weather that hides you.
37. How far away must working Washington brake lights be clearly visible?
- A 100 feet
- B 20 feet
- C 500 feet
- D They only need to work at night
Correct answer: A. Washington says brake lights are red and must be clearly visible from 100 feet away. If they are not working, use the left-arm hand signal out the driver-side window. A burned-out brake lamp is a fail item, not a cosmetic issue.
38. If your Washington brake lights are out, which hand signal means you are stopping?
- A Left arm out the driver-side window, fingers pointed down
- B Left arm straight out
- C Right arm waving in a circle
- D Both hands off the wheel
Correct answer: A. The Washington guide says to put your left arm out the driver-side window and point your fingers down when brake lights are not working. A straight-out arm is the left-turn signal, not the stop signal. Practice the three arm positions before test day.
39. How far from other traffic must you switch from high beams in Washington?
- A 500 feet in front of an oncoming vehicle, and 300 feet when you are behind
- B 50 feet both ways
- C Never; high beams stay on
- D Only inside city limits
Correct answer: A. Washington says you can use high beams on open roads without streetlights, but switch back when you are 500 feet in front of an oncoming vehicle or 300 feet when you are behind. Those two numbers are the written-test pair.
40. How far before a Washington move should you signal?
- A 100 feet before you make your move
- B A car length
- C Only after you start the turn
- D 500 feet in every town
Correct answer: A. Washington tells drivers to signal 100 feet before they make a move, and to make sure the signal stops blinking after the turn. A leftover blinker still means “turn” to everyone behind you.
41. Why does the Washington guide say daytime running lights are not enough by themselves?
- A They are not as bright as headlights and they do not activate your taillights
- B They are illegal in Washington
- C They replace headlights at night
- D They only work on motorcycles
Correct answer: A. Washington notes that many cars turn daytime running lights on when you start the engine, but those lights are not as bright as headlights and they do not activate your taillights. Confirm the full lighting system is actually lit, especially in rain or dusk.
42. You meet a stopped Washington school bus from the opposite direction. When may you keep going?
- A On a highway divided into separate roadways, or on a highway with three or more marked traffic lanes
- B On every two-lane road
- C Never; opposite-direction traffic always stops
- D Only after 4 p.m.
Correct answer: A. RCW 46.61.370 requires a stop from either direction when a school bus is stopped with its visual signals on. Opposite-direction traffic need not stop on a highway divided into separate roadways, or on a highway with three or more marked traffic lanes. Same-direction traffic still stops. Stay stopped until the bus moves or the signals go off.
43. How close to a fire hydrant may you stand or park a vehicle in Washington?
- 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. RCW 46.61.570 forbids standing or parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, except momentarily to pick up or discharge a passenger. Fifteen is the hydrant number. The same section uses 20 feet from a crosswalk and 30 feet on the approach to a roadside signal or stop sign.
44. A Washington traffic signal is a flashing yellow caution signal. What may you do?
- A Proceed through the intersection or past the signal only with caution
- B Treat it as a stop sign
- C Treat it as a protected green
- D Wait for a circular red first
Correct answer: A. RCW 46.61.065 says a flashing yellow caution signal lets drivers proceed through the intersection or past the signal only with caution. The section does not apply at railroad grade crossings, which follow RCW 46.61.340.
45. A Washington traffic signal is a flashing red stop signal. What must you do?
- A Stop at the stop line, crosswalk, or nearest view point, then proceed under stop-sign rules
- B Slow and roll through
- C Wait for a circular green
- D Use it as a left-turn arrow
Correct answer: A. RCW 46.61.065 treats flashing red as a stop signal. Stop at the marked line, or before the crosswalk, or at the nearest point with a view of approaching traffic, then follow ordinary stop-sign rules. Do not treat the flash as a broken green.
46. A Washington traffic signal is temporarily without power on all approaches, or shows no green, red, or yellow to your approach. What must you do?
- A Treat the intersection as an all-way stop, unless a flagger, police officer, or firefighter directs you to go
- B Treat the dark head as a green light
- C The busier street keeps going
- D U-turn immediately
Correct answer: A. RCW 46.61.183 says that except when a flagger, police officer, or firefighter directs you to proceed, a driver approaching a signal that is without power on all approaches, or that shows no green, red, or yellow to that approach, shall treat the intersection as an all-way stop.
47. On a Washington road with two or more lanes your way, how must you pass a bicyclist in the right lane?
- A Move completely into a lane to the left of the right lane when it is safe, and stay there until you are clear
- B Stay in the right Washington lane and miss them by inches
- C Pass on the shoulder
- D Honk and hold the right lane
Correct answer: A. Washington’s overtaking statute, RCW 46.61.110, is stricter than a simple three-foot squeeze on a multi-lane road. Before you pass a pedestrian, bicyclist, or similar user in the right lane, move completely into a lane to the left of that right lane when it is safe, and stay there until you are clear. Testers still quote only three feet. On a multi-lane Washington street, take the next lane.
48. On a Washington road with only one lane your way, how close may you pass a bicyclist when there is room in that lane?
- A Reduce to a safe passing speed and leave at least three feet where practicable
- B A Washington mirror’s width is enough
- C No extra space if you stay under 25 mph
- D Pass at the posted limit with one foot
Correct answer: A. On a single-direction-lane Washington roadway, RCW 46.61.110 says to reduce to a safe passing speed relative to the person and to pass at a safe distance — at least three feet where practicable — so you clearly avoid contact. If there is not enough room in the lane, move completely into the opposite lane when that is legal and safe. Three feet is the one-lane Washington number, not a license to clip the rider.
49. When is a U-turn illegal on a Washington curve or hill even if you can complete the turn in one motion?
- A When a driver approaching from either direction cannot see your vehicle within 500 feet
- B Only after dark on a Washington interstate
- C U-turns are always legal if you signal
- D Only inside a business district
Correct answer: A. RCW 46.61.295 lets you turn around only when the movement can be made in safety and without interfering with other traffic. It forbids a U-turn on a curve or near the crest of a grade where another driver approaching from either direction cannot see you within 500 feet. Testers invent a Washington business-district statewide ban. The statewide visibility rule is 500 feet; cities may add their own signs.
50. You approach a Washington emergency scene that is using the Move Over / Slow Down law. How far from the scene must you change lanes, and how much must you slow if you cannot?
- A Move over 200 feet before and after the scene; if you stay in the lane, slow to 10 mph below the posted Washington limit
- B Move over only as you reach the Washington bumper
- C Hold Washington highway speed if your hazards are on
- D Stop in the Washington travel lane until a trooper waves you on
Correct answer: A. Washington’s Move Over / Slow Down law tells drivers to move over 200 feet before and after an emergency scene, and to slow to 10 mph below the posted limit when they cannot change lanes. Testers crawl past the bumper at highway speed. The Washington numbers are 200 feet on each side of the scene and minus ten if you stay put.
51. How far may you travel in a Washington shared center left-turn lane, and may you use it to pass?
- A No more than 300 feet, and never to pass
- B A full Washington city block if you keep a signal on
- C As far as you want if no one is coming the other way
- D Only 50 feet on a Washington two-lane
Correct answer: A. Washington shared center lanes are for left turns in either direction, or U-turns where permitted. You may cross a solid yellow on your side to enter. Do not use the lane to pass, and do not travel farther than 300 feet in it. Testers camp in the Washington two-way left-turn lane or invent a 200-foot number copied from other states. Three hundred feet is the Washington stay.
52. You enter a Washington diverging-diamond interchange. What should you expect when you turn left onto the freeway?
- A You will be guided to the left side of the roadway, then a free-flow left onto the ramp without yielding to oncoming Washington traffic
- B Stop in the Washington median and wait for a gap in opposing cars
- C Treat it like a Washington four-way stop
- D U-turn from the Washington right shoulder
Correct answer: A. A Washington diverging diamond shifts you across to the left side of the roadway so left turns onto freeway ramps do not cross oncoming traffic. Follow the markings and signals, make the free-flow left, then cross back to the right side after the overpass or underpass. Testers stop for imaginary oncoming cars in the diamond. The design removes that conflict — stay in the guided lane.
53. What does Washington law say about earbuds or headphones while you drive?
- A It is against Washington law to drive while wearing earbuds, earphones, headphones, or headsets that broadcast sound or cancel noise; a one-ear hands-free device may be used if it meets the administrative rule
- B Both Washington ears may be covered if the radio is low
- C Only Washington motorcyclists may use two earbuds
- D Washington allows noise-cancelling headphones on every freeway
Correct answer: A. Washington says it is against the law to drive while wearing earbuds, earphones, headphones, or headsets that broadcast sound or cancel noise. A hands-free device in one ear is allowed if it complies with WAC 204-10-045. Testers cover both Washington ears. One ear, and only if the rule allows it.
54. How close to a Washington fire-station driveway may you stand or park, including on the opposite side of the street?
- A No closer than 20 feet to the driveway, or 75 feet on the opposite Washington side when that side is properly signposted
- B Fifteen feet, the Washington hydrant number
- C Against the Washington bay if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a Washington sidewalk is clear
Correct answer: A. RCW 46.61.570 forbids standing or parking within 20 feet of the driveway entrance to any fire station, and on the side of a street opposite that entrance within 75 feet when it is properly signposted. Testers reuse the 15-foot Washington hydrant number already in the bank. Twenty and seventy-five keep the apparatus path clear.
55. When you park on a Washington two-way street next to a curb, how close must the right-hand wheels sit?
- A Parallel to and within 12 inches of the right-hand Washington curb, or as close as practicable to the right-hand shoulder
- B Within 18 inches only, a number copied from other Washington neighbors
- C Against the Washington sidewalk if flashers are on
- D Anywhere a Washington travel lane stays open
Correct answer: A. RCW 46.61.575 says that on a two-way roadway you must stop or park with the right-hand wheels parallel to and within 12 inches of the right-hand curb, or as close as practicable to the right edge of the right-hand shoulder. Testers copy an 18-inch number from other states. Twelve inches is the Washington curb gap, separate from the 15-foot hydrant extra.
56. How close to the curb radius leading into a Washington driveway may you stand or park?
- A No closer than 5 feet of the end of that Washington curb radius, besides parking directly in front of the driveway
- B Flush with the Washington apron if flashers are on
- C Fifteen feet, the Washington hydrant number
- D Anywhere a Washington travel lane stays open
Correct answer: A. RCW 46.61.570 forbids standing or parking in front of a public or private driveway, or within 5 feet of the end of the curb radius leading to that driveway. A city or county may allow parking across a residential driveway no longer than 50 feet if the sidewalk, another driveway, and the roadway stay clear. Testers copy a 15-foot hydrant number here. Five feet is the Washington driveway-radius gap, separate from the 20 / 75 fire-station extra.
57. May you stop on the roadway side of a vehicle already parked at a Washington curb?
- A No; Washington forbids stopping, standing, or parking on the roadway side of a vehicle already at the curb
- B Yes, if Washington flashers are on
- C Only after 9 p.m. on a Washington street
- D Yes, if the Washington hydrant is clear
Correct answer: A. RCW 46.61.570 forbids stopping, standing, or parking on the roadway side of any vehicle already stopped or parked at the edge or curb of a street. Testers squeeze alongside a Washington curb car to “just run in.” The travel lane stays a travel lane, separate from the five-foot driveway-radius extra.
58. May you stop, stand, or park on a Washington street planting strip between the curb and the sidewalk?
