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 German traffic rules, parking in front of a St. Andrew's Cross (Andreaskreuz), which marks a level crossing, is restricted to ensure visibility and safety. You must leave at least 5 meters clear space before the cross. This distance allows trains and drivers to have a clear view of the crossing and prevents parked vehicles from obstructing traffic or emergency access. Keeping this minimum distance helps reduce the risk of accidents near railway crossings.
