Can you park the car at a distance of 5 m from a pedestrian crossing?

Description

Art. 49 para. 1 pt. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137).

Explanation

Correct answer: No

Stopping and parking a vehicle at a distance of less than 10 metres before a pedestrian crossing is prohibited. The distance of 5 metres mentioned in the question is therefore insufficient. This regulation, specified in Art. 49 para. 1 pt. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, is intended to ensure drivers have good visibility of pedestrians entering the carriageway from behind a parked vehicle.
