How far away from an intersection should you park?

Keep a safe distance so drivers on the cross street can see you and maneuver safely. The minimum distance you should park from an intersection is seven and a half metres. Parking closer reduces visibility and can block turning traffic or pedestrians; parking farther away is fine but not required by the rule. The other options place you too close to the intersection or go beyond the minimum distance without adding safety benefits.
