What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?

Stop parking in front of fire hydrants.

Yeah..no kidding..but the question remains..was it a working or non-working hydrant

 

[OHRoadwarrior]

Did you turn it on to find out? I wasn't there. Code 40 says "Stopping, standing or parking closer than 15 feet of a fire hydrant. Between sunrise and sunset, a passenger vehicle may stand alongside a fire hydrant as long as a driver remains behind the wheel and is ready to move the vehicle if required to do so." It does not say the fire hydrant must be tested for full functionality.

Doesn't matter.

I don't see an original question.

How do you know that the hydrant was or was not working?

Do you happen to be talking about the unused high-pressure hydrants around in downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan?
