Nova Scotia Drivers Beginners – Road Rules Practice Test

Which distance is correct when parking near a crosswalk?

3 m 5 m 7.5 m 10 m

Correct Answer:

5 m

Explanation:

Parking near a crosswalk requires leaving a safe clearance so pedestrians can cross and drivers have a clear view of those crossing. The rule sets a minimum distance of five metres from the crosswalk edge. This ensures the crosswalk isn’t blocked and pedestrians aren’t forced to step out into traffic to reach the curb. If you park closer than five metres, you’re in a zone where visibility and safety are compromised. Distances like three metres are too close for safety and aren’t allowed, while seven and a half or ten metres are acceptable but simply exceed the minimum. The key point is to maintain at least five metres from the crosswalk.
