  1. A
    5 metres (16 feet)
  2. 10 metres (32 feet)Cevap
  3. C
    15 metres (49 feet)
  4. D
    20 metres (66 feet)

Cevap

A driver must leave a minimum distance of 10 metres (32 feet) from a junction when parking.
According to Highway Code Rule 243, you must not stop or park opposite or within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction, except in an authorised parking bay. This statutory clearance preserves sightlines for drivers turning into or pulling out of the side road and gives pedestrians a safer, unobstructed place to cross.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the statutory parking rule for junctions
Highway Code Rule 243 dictates where drivers must not stop or park.
Parking regulations specify strict spatial clearances around intersections to ensure road safety.
2
Determine the required legal clearance distance
The minimum clearance is 10 metres (32 feet) unless parked in an authorised bay.
Leaving at least 10 metres ensures drivers emerging from or turning into the side road have adequate sightlines and room to manoeuvre safely.
