What is the shortest distance from a stop sign that a vehicle may be parked?

The shortest distance from a stop sign that a vehicle may be parked is 10 meters. This regulation helps ensure that vehicles do not obstruct the visibility of the stop sign for approaching drivers, allowing them to react appropriately to the traffic control device. A clear line of sight is essential for traffic safety, as it minimizes the risk of accidents at intersections. Maintaining this distance aids in traffic flow and ensures that drivers can clearly see signs that are critical for navigating safely.

In contrast, shorter distances, such as 5 meters or 7 meters, may not provide sufficient space to ensure proper visibility of the sign, while 20 meters would be excessive and unnecessary for the purposes of parking regulations.
