Which of the following is NOT a legal parking violation area?

Parking in a shopping mall is generally not considered a legal violation area, as these locations typically have designated parking spaces and specific rules for parking. While malls may have regulations against certain types of parking, such as blocking driveways or emergency exits, parking within the marked areas is usually allowed.

In contrast, the other options often signify clear violations. For instance, parking at a bus stop disrupts public transportation; parking in front of a driveway obstructs access to properties; and parking beside a fire hydrant can impede emergency response efforts. Each of these infractions poses safety risks or operational challenges, whereas shopping mall parking, when done appropriately, typically adheres to local regulations allowing it.
