50 meters. According to traffic laws, motor vehicles temporarily parked on the road must comply with the following regulations: Parking is prohibited: on road sections with no-parking signs or markings, on road sections with isolation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, as well as crosswalks and construction areas. Parking is also prohibited in front of bus stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or fire stations (within 30 meters of these locations), except when using these facilities. Parking within 50 meters is prohibited: at intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and within 50 meters of these locations. Precautions: Doors must not be opened or passengers allowed to board or alight before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, and opening or closing doors must not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians.
When driving through such sections, you must not park within 50 meters. I remember once parking near an intersection and getting fined by the traffic police. They said it was a crossing, and the no-parking zone extended 50 meters, mainly for safety reasons. If you park there, it can block visibility, making it hard for other cars turning or pedestrians crossing the road to see clearly, which can easily lead to accidents. I've also noticed many new drivers don't know this rule, thinking it's okay to stop briefly, only to get caught. If you really need to make a temporary stop on the road, it's best to find a marked parking space or stay away from intersections and bus stops. Always pay attention to roadside signs—some areas prohibit parking within 30 or 40 meters. Safety first.
