How many meters near an intersection is parking prohibited?
2 Answers
According to relevant regulations: Parking is prohibited within 50 meters of intersections, railway crossings, curves, narrow bridges, narrow roads, steep slopes, tunnel entrances, etc. Below are detailed regulations regarding temporary parking of motor vehicles on roads: Regulation details: When temporarily parking on roads, motor vehicles should comply with the principle of parking in the direction of traffic flow, and drivers must not leave the vehicle. Additionally, vehicles must be immediately removed if they obstruct traffic, and opening/closing doors or boarding/alighting passengers is not permitted. Important notes: Temporary parking of motor vehicles on roads is not allowed outside designated parking areas. Furthermore, vehicles must not use horns in areas or road sections where horn usage is prohibited.
As a driver, when sharing driving experiences, I would say: It's a basic traffic rule that you usually cannot park within 50 meters of an intersection, aiming to avoid obstructing visibility and reducing accident risks. If you park too close, especially at a turning intersection, other vehicles may not see the traffic lights or have blind spots, easily leading to minor collisions or even serious accidents. Once, I was in a hurry and parked near an intersection, only to be caught by a camera and fined, almost causing a minor accident. The lesson is: Always use roadside signs as a reference to estimate distance when parking, maintaining a safe buffer zone. An additional reminder: During rainy, foggy weather or at night when visibility is low, it's even more crucial to strictly maintain this distance to ensure driving safety. Remember, following the rules is taking responsibility for yourself and others—don't lose big for small gains.
