You want to park in front of a St. Andrew's Cross in a built-up area. What is the minimum distance you must leave clear?

In Germany, when parking in front of a St. Andrew's Cross (which marks a level crossing), you must keep at least 5 meters clear in built-up areas. This ensures that vehicles, especially emergency and larger vehicles, do not block the crossing and that there is a clear line of sight for both drivers and train conductors. This rule helps prevent dangerous situations at railway crossings. You answered correctly with 5 meters, so remember: always keep a minimum of 5 meters distance from the St. Andrew's Cross when parking in town or city areas.
