you must not park opposite or within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction, except in an authorised parking space

I can't stand people that park too close to a junction. The entrance to my street is quiet narrow, if someone parks on the road there it takes up half the road. What really annoys me is there is that sometimes there is a car that parks less than a cars length from the junction. If I am entering the street from one direction I can't see the car till I have already made the turn and find my self inches from hitting the car.
Does that person have no common sense, there are other parking places that are free and would not be such a danger to other drivers, so why park right at the junction.
Sorry that is one of my real pet hates

firstly there is no legal distance in the uk that you have to park away from a junction, the highway code stipulates a distance but that is a code of good practice not law, however as a code of good practice it is used by the courts to determine if someone was acting sensibly. if you are ticketed for parking too close to a junction it will be for obstruction of the highway not a parking offence unless you had parked in a restricted zone. a final point many people are not aware of is that there is no right to park on the highway at all, the only right you have is to be able to travel along it, parking is therefore always technically an obstruction of the highway although it has become an accepted practice unless you cause what is considered a real obstruction ie blocking the road an access or visibility

it remains a public position, hence the vehicle will nevertheless favor to be taxed and insured. also, parking on the grass verge would nicely be classed as unlawful parking, so that you will be ticketed for unlawful parking besides as for no tax and no insurance. If the vehicle is SORN it must be on deepest resources, the position the final public does no longer in many circumstances have get entry to.

I would think you should check the regulations of the State or country in which you are driving. Most likely, distances change from one to another.
