How far should you park from a crosswalk?

In Nova Scotia, you must park at least 5 metres away from a crosswalk. This minimum distance helps keep the crosswalk visible to drivers and gives pedestrians room to start crossing safely without a car door or parked vehicle blocking their path. Parking closer can obscure the crosswalk and create a hazard for pedestrians. While more space might feel safer, the rule specifies the 5-metre minimum, making it the correct standard. The other distances either go beyond the minimum or fall short of it, so they don’t meet the requirement.
