When can you park or wait after a crossing?

Parking or waiting is only permissible after a crossing because it ensures the safety and ease of movement for pedestrians crossing the road. Crossings, including pedestrian crossings, are designated areas where pedestrians have the priority to move freely and safely. If a vehicle parks or waits immediately after or before the crossing, it can obstruct the view for both pedestrians and drivers, leading to potential accidents.

Allowing parking or waiting only after the crossing maintains the visibility needed for safe interactions between drivers and pedestrians. This rule is in place to minimize risks and enhance road safety for everyone using the roadway. By adhering to this guideline, drivers help create a clearer and safer environment around crossings, reducing the likelihood of accidents.
