Alberta Class 7 License Practice Test

When parking on a roadway outside an urban area, your vehicle must be seen for how many metres in both directions?

1. 30 metres

2. 60 metres

3. 100 metres

4. 150 metres

The correct answer is: 60 metres

When parking on a roadway outside an urban area, your vehicle must be visible for 150 metres in both directions. This requirement is in place to enhance safety for both the parked vehicle and passing traffic. By ensuring that other drivers can see your vehicle from a distance, you reduce the risk of accidents that could occur if a vehicle suddenly appears without warning. Being visible from that distance allows oncoming vehicles to adjust accordingly, ensuring safer roadway navigation for everyone involved. This visibility requirement helps maintain clear lines of sight and contributes to overall road safety, particularly in more rural or less densely populated areas where sightlines may be less predictable.
