What constitutes a safe parking distance from a marked junction?

5 meters
10 meters
15 meters
20 meters

The correct answer is: 5 meters

The correct distance for safe parking from a marked junction is often specified to ensure that vehicles do not obstruct the view of other drivers and pedestrians, thereby enhancing safety on the road. A distance of 5 meters is generally adequate as it allows for visibility around the junction, ensuring that turning vehicles can see oncoming traffic and pedestrians can cross safely. Keeping this distance helps to prevent accidents by minimizing the potential for collisions at intersections. Longer distances, while potentially safer, are not always practical or necessary in urban settings where road space is limited. Therefore, the specified 5 meters strikes a balance between safety and practicality, making it the correct choice. Other options propose distances that exceed what is typically required for visibility and safety at junctions, which may lead to unnecessary restrictions on parking availability.
