You have to park a vehicle loaded with explosives from Divisions 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3. What is the minimum distance it may be from a bridge?

Answer options

Why

The rule for these explosives is to keep a parked vehicle 300 feet or more away from any bridge, as well as from tunnels, buildings, open fires, and places where people gather. That buffer protects people and structures if the load ever explodes.
