My city has an ordinance where you can’t park within 20 feet of a crosswalk. It’s an absurd amount of space considering that the average car length is 15 feet. They do ticket for that even if the car is completely clear of the sidewalk by several feet, which is what the spirit of the law is about. The weird thing is that there’s an ordinance where you can’t park within 15 feet of a fire hydrant, which seems more important to have more space cleared than a crosswalk, but what do I know.
