You should not park your vehicle within _____ of a crosswalk.
2 answers:
Answer:
20 feet
Explanation:
Parking within 20 feet distance is prohibited since it hinders the mobility of pedestrians to cross freely along the street. This applies whether the crosswalk is implied and not necessarily marked.
The space provided will help people to cross safely and set distance proper for drivers to park safely in distance with the crossroad. Some large vehicles need that distance while turning. The measure is also enforced since it will help lessen the probability of accidents occurring at crossroads.

The restrictions for parking further include:
"Parking where you will block a vehicle already parked or where you will block a sidewalk, crosswalk, pedestrian crossing or road entrance is not allowed."
"Parking within three metres of a fire hydrant, on or within 100 metres of a bridge or six metres of a public entrance to a hotel, theatre or public hall when it is open to the public is not allowed."
"Parking within nine metres of an intersection or 15 metres if it is controlled by traffic lights is not allowed."
