Question:

"I see fire hydrants painted various colors around town: Yellow, red, green, (and) even brown. What is the difference? Is parking near them treated the same?"

Answer:

The color of fire hydrants pertains to how much water pressure they provide, said Andy Ryan, spokesman for Seattle Public Utilities.

When it comes to parking, the law treats all fire hydrants the same, whether they're yellow or green. "Per Seattle Municipal Code 11.72.160, no one is allowed to park within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant," says Mike Estey, the Seattle Department of Transportation's manager of parking operations and traffic permits.

Whether the hydrant is red or green, the penalty for parking too close is $42.

Question:

"Technically, is there a difference between 'Dead End' and 'No Outlet'? I see each, although the newer signs seem to be 'No Outlet'. When is one wording used over the other?"

Answer:

Turns out there is a difference in road speak. Eric Widstrand, the Seattle Department of Transportation's city traffic engineer, explains:

"A 'Dead End' sign is used at the entrance of a single street that terminates in a dead end or a cul-de-sac. A 'No Outlet' sign is used at the entrance to a road network from which there is no other exit, for example, when a small neighborhood composed of several streets has only one entrance on to an arterial street."

Question:

If the general purpose lanes are blocked by a collision, can single-occupancy drivers legally use the HOV lanes to get around it?

Answer:

WSDOT's website has a list of the most common questions concerning HOV lanes. WSDOT says passing in the HOV lane is legal only if authorized by the Washington State Patrol and traffic management officials.

"No, you cannot take it upon yourself to use the HOV lane as a single occupant vehicle (SOV) during an incident. Whether or not to open up the HOV lanes due to an accident or some other type of blockage is a decision made between the Washington State Patrol commanding officer at the scene and WSDOT in Central Traffic Management. They have the authority to - and often do - open the HOV lanes to all traffic. The decision is based on many factors and they will flag vehicles into the lane if that decision is made," WSDOT says.

Question:

"Why are drivers throughout the day forced to wait for sailboats passing under the Fremont, Ballard, and other bridges?" asks David Tagliani, sharing a sentiment felt by many drivers who get caught in bridge traffic.

"Every time it happens I can't help think about the thousands of dollars worth of gas going up in smoke, much less the wasted time as hundreds of drivers sit waiting -- and lastly the environmental impact of all those exhaust pipes. Is it possible to limit these openings to certain times of the day and /or stack them up so a number of vessels all pass through at the same time?"

Answer:

John Buswell, roadway structures manager for the Seattle Department of Transportation, explains why drivers have to wait.

"We agree it can be frustrating to wait the four to six minutes, on average, that it takes to complete an opening of a bridge on the Lake Washington Ship Canal," Buswell says. "However, we are bound by federal law to give vessels the right-of-way; the reason being that marine travel and transport was "first in time" before the automobile. The Coast Guard permit that allows us to operate a movable bridge across the Ship Canal requires the city to raise the bridge for any vessel that makes a request for an opening. Seattle was successful in securing an exception to this regulation during the morning and afternoon rush hours. Weekdays from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., we do not open for smaller vessels, only vessels of 1000 gross tons or larger.

"Whenever possible, the bridge operators will hold one vessel while waiting for other vessels to approach. However, Coast Guard rules only allow us to delay a vessel for up to 10 minutes.

Question

“The state license renewal notice has a specific date telling you when your license tab expires. However, the tabs just indicate a month. Do your tabs expire on the date identified by the renewal form, or do they expire on the last day of the month?” the reader asks. “Can you get a ticket for expired tabs if you haven’t renewed by the date on the renewal form? How would a police officer know your renewal date, for example, if it was September 15th?”

Answer

Brad Benfield, a spokesman for the state Department of Licensing, says the question is one that commonly confuses people.

“A common misconception is that your tabs are valid through the end of the month. On your registration certificate, you do have the specific date that your tabs are going to expire. If you don’t renew before that date, law enforcement can issue a ticket for expired registration,” he says.

“Obviously law enforcement wouldn’t have a way to see visually from the back of your car what day your tabs expire. However, that information would be available to them if they radioed in,” he said.

Question:

How close to someone's driveway can you park?

Answer:

In Seattle, parking is prohibited within a 5-foot buffer on either side of a driveway, according to The SDOT Blog. Keep that in mind the next time you're trying to squeeze into that last space near someone's driveway on a crowded residential street.

If you're a property owner and want to prevent drivers from encroaching on your driveway, SDOT recommends painting the curb five feet from each edge of the driveway in yellow. "Painting the curb yellow, five feet back from the edge of your driveway, will help to increase the sight distance for motorists to see all vehicles, including bicyclists," SDOT says in the blog.

One more point: The law also forbids you from blocking your own driveway, according to Margo Polley of SDOT's Traffic Management Division explains. "The law applies to everyone equally," she says.
