What is the minimum distance you must leave clear when stopping or parking in front of a pedestrian crossing?

In German traffic rules, you must not stop or park closer than 5 meters before a pedestrian crossing. This ensures that drivers waiting at the crossing have a clear view of pedestrians and that pedestrians can see any approaching vehicles in time to cross safely. This distance helps maintain visibility and safety for both pedestrians and drivers. Remembering the 5-meter rule will help you avoid causing dangerous situations near crosswalks.
