  1. A traffic code excerpt states: 'No vehicle shall block an intersection or crosswalk when traffic is congested.' A driver enters an intersection on a green light but traffic stops and the driver ends up blocking the box. This is:

    Answer: A violation because the driver blocked the intersection regardless of signal color

    The code prohibits blocking intersections when traffic is congested regardless of the signal color when the vehicle entered.

  2. A notice to agents states: 'Placards for persons with disabilities do not exempt vehicles from street cleaning, street sweeping, or tow-away zones.' A vehicle displaying a disability placard is found in a tow-away zone. The agent should:

    Answer: Issue a citation and arrange towing per standard procedure

    The notice explicitly states disability placards do not exempt vehicles from tow-away zones.

  3. A regulation states vehicles parked in a loading zone may remain no longer than 20 minutes for active loading or unloading. An agent observes a vehicle in a loading zone. There is no driver visible and no loading activity for 25 minutes. The agent should:

    Answer: Issue a citation for exceeding the 20-minute loading zone limit

    No active loading or unloading for 25 minutes exceeds the 20-minute maximum, warranting a citation.

  4. An agent receives written instructions: 'Do not issue citations to vehicles displaying current Press credentials during major public events unless they are blocking emergency access.' A press vehicle is parked in a no-parking zone during a parade but is not blocking any emergency route. The agent should:

    Answer: Refrain from citing because the instructions exempt press vehicles during major events

    The written instructions exempt current-credentialed press vehicles during major public events unless blocking emergency access.

  5. A supervisor's memo states: 'All citation data must be entered into the handheld device within 30 minutes of issuance.' An agent issues a citation at 3:00 PM and enters the data at 3:45 PM. The agent has:

    Answer: Violated the 30-minute data entry requirement

    Entering data 45 minutes after issuance violates the memo's 30-minute requirement.

  6. A posted sign reads 'RESERVED PARKING — PERMIT A ONLY.' A vehicle with a Permit B placard is parked in the space. The agent should:

    Answer: Issue a citation because Permit B does not authorize parking in a Permit A zone

    The space is reserved for Permit A holders; a Permit B placard does not authorize parking there.

  7. A training guide states: 'If a motorist becomes hostile or threatening, the agent should disengage, move to a safe location, and contact dispatch immediately.' An agent is confronted by an angry driver who begins shouting and moving aggressively toward the agent. The agent should:

    Answer: Disengage, move to a safe location, and radio dispatch

    The training guide's protocol is to disengage, reposition safely, and contact dispatch — not to escalate or void citations.
