What is the closest distance you can park your vehicle to a pedestrian crossing where no lines are marked?

Parking regulations are in place to ensure the safety of pedestrians and drivers alike. In New Zealand, the correct distance to park from a pedestrian crossing where no lines are marked is 6 metres. This distance gives enough space for pedestrians to cross safely and for drivers to see pedestrians waiting to cross. It also allows for clearer visibility for both pedestrians and vehicles, reducing the risk of accidents. Keeping a safe distance helps facilitate the smooth flow of traffic and provides a better environment for all road users. Understanding these distances is crucial for new drivers, as it promotes responsible and considerate driving practices.
