What is the closest you may park to a building when your vehicle carries Division 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 explosives?

Why

When parked, a vehicle hauling these explosives has to stay at least 300 feet away from buildings, and the same spacing applies to bridges, tunnels, open fires, and places where crowds gather. The distance protects people and property in case the load explodes.
