A sprinkler system inlet (the connection through which fire trucks pump water) is installed on the outer wall of a commercial building. Under the Road Traffic Act, within how many meters of the place where this inlet is installed are both stopping and parking prohibited?
💡 Hint
Stopping and parking are prohibited near firefighting facilities so that fire trucks can use them immediately in a fire, and the facilities covered are set in Article 10-3 of the Enforcement Decree (Article 32, subparagraph 6 of the Road Traffic Act). Do not confuse this distance with other no-stopping/no-parking distances such as those for railroad crossings or crosswalks.
Answer: ①
Explanation
Under Road Traffic Act Article 32 item 6(b) and Enforcement Decree Article 10-3(1)1, stopping and parking are prohibited within 5 meters of the place where the inlet of a sprinkler system or similar equipment is installed. This lets fire trucks connect their hoses to the inlet immediately in case of fire.
