How far must you park from a pedestrian crossing?

Parking regulations near pedestrian crossings are designed to ensure the safety of both pedestrians and drivers by maintaining clear sightlines and providing a safe space for individuals to cross the road. The correct distance to park from a pedestrian crossing is 20 meters. By adhering to this rule, you help ensure that both vehicles and pedestrians have adequate visibility of each other, which reduces the risk of accidents.

When vehicles are parked closer than the designated distance, it can obscure the view of pedestrians approaching the crossing, making it more difficult for drivers to see them and for pedestrians to see oncoming traffic. This safety measure supports a smoother flow of traffic and promotes a safer environment for everyone on the road.
