How Many Centimeters Should You Park from the Curb?

[Margaret]

Parking within 30 centimeters from the curb is a requirement in the Subject 2 driving test, and the Subject 3 test also requires parking within 30 cm from the curb. Exceeding 30 cm will result in point deductions. For daily parking, it is also advisable to maintain a distance of no more than 30 cm from the curb. Article 56 of the 'Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' stipulates that motor vehicles shall be parked in designated areas. Parking on sidewalks is prohibited, except in parking spaces marked according to this law. When parking a motor vehicle on the roadside, the correct method for choosing a parking spot is as follows: When parking a motor vehicle, it must be parked in designated areas. If parking on the roadside is necessary, choose to park within marked parking spaces. When temporarily parking on the road, do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. On roads without marked parking spaces, park as close as possible to the right side of the road, in the direction of traffic, with the vehicle body no more than 30 cm from the road edge. The driver must not leave the vehicle and must depart immediately after passengers alight or items are loaded/unloaded. In case of vehicle breakdown or an accident where the vehicle is difficult to move, turn on the hazard warning lights. At night, additionally turn on the hazard warning lights, position lights, and rear lights.
