How far from a crosswalk must you park your vehicle?

Parking at least 5 meters (16 feet) away from a crosswalk is important for several reasons. This distance ensures that your vehicle does not obstruct the view of pedestrians or drivers approaching the crosswalk, which enhances safety for everyone involved. By maintaining this clearance, it allows pedestrians to see oncoming traffic more clearly and gives them enough space to enter the crosswalk without feeling pressured by moving vehicles. In addition, it helps other drivers to see pedestrians waiting to cross, thereby preventing potential accidents. Adhering to this regulation contributes to a more orderly and safe driving environment.
