You are looking for a place to park on the right edge of the carriageway. A cycle path runs alongside to the right of the carriageway. How many metres before a junction or an intersection are you prohibited from parking?

In Germany, you are not allowed to park within 8 meters before a junction or intersection. This rule ensures that the view of drivers approaching the junction remains clear, improving safety for all road users, including cyclists on adjacent cycle paths. Parking too close to the junction can obstruct visibility, making it difficult to see other vehicles or pedestrians crossing. Remembering the 8-meter no-parking zone helps keep intersections safer and avoids fines.
