How far should a temporarily parked vehicle be from the road edge?
1 Answers
The right side of the vehicle must not exceed 30 centimeters from the road edge. Below are relevant details: Relevant regulations: Article 63 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that roadside parking should be close to the right side of the road, and the driver must not leave the vehicle. After passengers alight or goods are loaded/unloaded, the vehicle must depart immediately. Article 43 of the "Jiangsu Province Road Traffic Safety Regulations" further specifies this requirement, stating that "the right side of the vehicle must not exceed 30 centimeters from the road edge." Violators will be fined. Enforcement methods: During implementation, traffic police do not apply a one-size-fits-all approach. They primarily focus on areas with heavy traffic congestion, high accident risks, or significant traffic flow, implementing non-on-site enforcement through electronic monitoring. Only severe violations, such as vehicles parked more than one meter from the roadside, or vehicles with their front near the curb but rear protruding toward the road center, significantly obstructing traffic, will be penalized.
