How many meters is no parking allowed in a left turn section
4 Answers
No parking is allowed within 50 meters of a left turn. Parking rules: If parking along the roadside in a parking space parallel to the road direction, park as close to the right side as possible, leaving at least half a meter of space at both the front and rear of the vehicle. After parking, it's best to fold the rearview mirrors before leaving. If parking in an open parking lot, try to park in spaces that are relatively spacious and located on both sides of straight lanes, with the front of the vehicle facing the passageway for easier exit. It's best not to park at curves to avoid scratches. Temporary parking: When temporarily parking on the road, motor vehicles shall comply with the following regulations: No parking is allowed in sections with no-parking signs or markings, sections with separation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, or construction zones; no parking is allowed at intersections, railway crossings, sharp turns, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, or within 50 meters of the above locations.
I often drive my family around, and this distance regulation is really important. Generally speaking, you must never park within 50 meters of a turning intersection, especially on left-turn sections. Just imagine, visibility is already limited when turning, and if there are cars parked on the roadside, you can't see pedestrians or bicycles coming from the side at all. I've personally witnessed a minor collision caused by parking near an intersection—just stopping for a few minutes ended up blocking the entire road. I suggest everyone drives a bit further to find a parking spot instead of stopping near the intersection for convenience. Safety is no small matter; this distance rule is a lesson learned from blood and experience.
Parking in the left-turn zone is extremely dangerous. Traffic regulations clearly prohibit parking within 50 meters before and after intersections. Turning vehicles require a larger turning radius, and parked cars act like obstacles, hindering traffic flow. Even worse, they create blind spots, especially at night or during rainy/foggy weather, making it impossible to spot suddenly emerging electric bikes. There have been accidents caused by illegal parking near my residential area entrance. For everyone's safety, it's better to drive an extra two minutes to find a proper parking spot rather than parking near crosswalks or corners close to intersections.
After all these years driving a taxi, I know the parking issues at intersections all too well. Never park within 50 meters of a left-turn intersection—that's basic common sense. When making a turn, you need to observe traffic from multiple directions, and parked cars severely block your view. Moreover, turning vehicles often need to borrow lanes, and if there are cars parked on the roadside, novice drivers are prone to scratches. I've seen many rear-end collisions happen this way. Remembering this number can save you a lot of trouble and fines.
