Within what distance of 50 meters is it prohibited for motor vehicles to park?

Motor vehicles are prohibited from parking at intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and within 50 meters of these locations. Parking in these areas not only endangers the driver's property and personal safety but also poses risks to others' property and safety. Below are the regulations for temporary parking of motor vehicles on the road: 1. Parking is prohibited in sections with no-parking signs or markings, sections with separation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, crosswalks, and construction zones. 2. Parking 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. 3. Parking is prohibited in front of bus stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or fire stations (including within 30 meters of these locations), except when using these facilities. 4. Doors must not be opened or passengers allowed to board or alight before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, and opening doors must not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. 5. Roadside parking must be close to the right side of the road, and the driver must not leave the vehicle. The vehicle must depart immediately after passengers board or alight or after loading or unloading goods. 6. City buses are not allowed to stop to pick up or drop off passengers outside designated bus stops.

Honestly, it drives me crazy every time I see someone parking right next to a fire hydrant. My neighbor who works at the fire department specifically mentioned: parking is absolutely prohibited within 50 meters of a fire hydrant! Those red warning signs on the metal cabinets aren't just for show—if there's a fire, fire trucks would struggle to connect their hoses. And it's not just fire hydrants; the same rule applies to emergency lanes near hospitals and school entrances. I once witnessed an ambulance being blocked by an illegally parked car, causing a delay of several minutes that almost led to a tragedy. Now, I always double-check the surrounding facilities before parking. I'd rather walk a few extra steps than risk parking too close.

When I was learning to drive, my instructor kept repeating: never park within 50 meters of a crossroad! Later, I figured out that this rule ensures enough buffer space for turning vehicles. Especially during rush hours, parking near an intersection can instantly turn it into a parking lot. The same goes for bus stops—the yellow line area around the stop sign, extending at least 50 meters, is a no-parking zone. Last time I saw a car parked there, the bus couldn’t pull in and had to skip the stop, leaving passengers chasing after it. Remember, yellow grid zones on the road also fall under this rule—no temporary stops for pickup or drop-off, and illegal parking enforcement is strict.

Last time I was stopped by a traffic cop while dropping off my kid at school, and I finally learned my lesson: the no-parking zone at the school gate stretches a full 50 meters! Cars picking up and dropping off kids crowd both sides of the gate, making it dangerous for children to weave through the gaps. The officer said enforcement is especially strict during morning and evening rush hours near schools and kindergartens—not just tickets but possible towing. Now I make it a habit to park half a block early and walk my kid the rest of the way as light exercise. Oh, and same goes for bus stops—parking within 50 meters forces passengers to detour into traffic lanes, a risk definitely not worth taking.
