When you’re parked near traffic-control devices on the roadside, you need a clear buffer so the device stays visible to approaching drivers and isn’t blocked by your vehicle. You should park at least 10 meters away from an official flashing beacon, stop sign, yield sign, or traffic control signal. Parking closer could obscure the device or interfere with traffic flow, while 10 meters provides a safe, practical distance that keeps the intersection area clear.
