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

When stopping or parking near a pedestrian crossing in Germany, you must leave at least 5 meters of space before the crossing. This rule ensures that pedestrians using the crossing are clearly visible to approaching drivers and that you do not block their view or the view of the crossing itself. Stopping or parking closer than 5 meters creates a safety hazard and is not allowed. Remember: always keep at least 5 meters clear before a pedestrian crossing to follow the law and ensure pedestrian safety.
