What is the penalty for parking on a zebra crossing? What kind of violation is it?

[CalvinMarie]

Parking on a zebra crossing is subject to a verbal warning and is considered illegal parking. Below are the details regarding parking on a zebra crossing: 1. Penalty details: Parking on a zebra crossing is considered illegal parking. If the driver of the motor vehicle is present, the traffic officer can point out the violation and issue a verbal warning, instructing them to leave. If the driver is not present or refuses to leave despite being present, obstructing the passage of other vehicles, a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan will be imposed. 2. Definition method: Pedestrians walking on the right side of the road's sidewalk have not reached the centerline of the road. Vehicles driving on the left side of the road should slow down to ensure pedestrians can pass safely.

I made this mistake before - stopped at a crosswalk and got an on-the-spot ticket from traffic police. A 200-yuan fine plus 3 demerit points, categorized as serious violation for obstructing pedestrians. Dashcam footage showed I wasn't paying attention at all - must stop to yield when pedestrians are crossing. Since then, I always slow down early approaching crosswalks and ensure stopping with sufficient distance. The fine isn't huge but dealing with paperwork at traffic offices is troublesome. Safety first - drivers should develop the habit of checking road signs carefully to avoid major accidents caused by minor negligence. Remember, crosswalks are pedestrian priority zones. Illegal parking there endangers both others and yourself.

As an ordinary person who often wanders the streets, I have a strong impression of things like stopping at zebra crossings. If a driver stops on a zebra crossing, the penalty usually starts with a fine of 150 yuan and a deduction of two points. This is not just ordinary illegal parking but also a violation of failing to yield to pedestrians. Traffic police enforce this strictly because it directly affects road safety. I remind myself to observe my surroundings more while driving, especially slowing down at intersections and not rushing those few seconds. If a ticket comes, I pay the fine promptly to avoid late fees. Both pedestrians and vehicles on the road should respect each other. Illegal parking disrupts this balance and should be avoided whenever possible.

When I first started learning to drive, I once parked my car on a crosswalk and got caught, resulting in a 100-yuan fine and one penalty point, which was classified as illegal parking. At that time, I was a bit confused and thought it was fine to park by the roadside, but it turned into a big trouble. Driving requires paying more attention to traffic lights and road signs, as crosswalks are pedestrian passages and should not be occupied. Now I am extra cautious—I park farther away first and then double-check. New drivers often make this mistake, so it's important to gradually learn the rules.
