What is the maximum distance allowed for parking from the kerb?

The maximum distance allowed for parking from the kerb is 45 centimeters. This specific measurement is established to ensure that vehicles are parked close enough to the edge of the roadway. Parking too far from the kerb can obstruct traffic flow and create hazards for other drivers and pedestrians.

Adhering to this regulation enhances safety, improving visibility and reducing the risk of accidents by minimizing visibility obstructions and facilitating smoother traffic movement. It is also essential for allowing sufficient space for the vehicles that may need to pass through, such as emergency vehicles, while maintaining access for pedestrians.

Choosing a distance that is either too close or too far from the kerb can lead to penalties and is often a common reason for being ticketed or towed. Understanding this requirement is key to responsible driving practices and being a considerate road user.
