Explanation
Parking is not allowed within 20 feet of an intersection because a stopped or parked vehicle in that area can obstruct the view of cross traffic, pedestrians, and traffic signs. When drivers approaching the intersection cannot see clearly in all directions, the risk of collisions increases significantly - especially with oncoming vehicles or people crossing the street.
Parking too close to an intersection also makes it harder for other drivers to make safe turns, particularly large vehicles like buses and trucks that need extra space to maneuver. In some cases, emergency vehicles may be delayed if their turning radius is restricted by improperly parked cars.
