Essentially, parking spaces should be located at least 30 feet from an intersection or 20 feet from a crosswalk unless you want to allow parking in areas like a business district in which case signs and markings are needed.

Parking regulations near intersections vary by jurisdiction, but a common international standard is to maintain at least 20 feet (6 meters) of clearance from a corner or crosswalk. In the United States, many states mandate this 20-foot rule to ensure that turning vehicles have enough space and that pedestrians are visible to oncoming traffic. In the UK, the Highway Code advises against parking within 10 meters (32 feet) of a junction, except in authorized spaces, to preserve "sight lines" for other drivers. In Australia, the general rule is often 10 meters from an intersection without traffic lights and 20 meters from one with lights. Parking too close to a corner is not only a common cause of traffic tickets but also a significant safety hazard; it forces drivers to "peek" into intersections blindly and prevents large emergency vehicles, such as fire trucks, from making necessary wide turns safely.
