how many feet from a fire hydr
- This is a great question that oftentimes confuses many driversâ¦ A fire hydrant is a NO STOPPING zone. The general rule is that no vehicles can stop within 15 feet of a fire hydrant. There is a well known exception, which states that a passenger vehicle can stop, stand or park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant under certain, enumerated circumstances. However, this exception does NOT apply to commercial vehicles. Therefore, a taxi cab can never stop within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, even to drop off or pick up a passenger.
