New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road rules

How close to a children's crossing or pedestrian crossing may you stop or park?

The answer

  • No closer than 5m either side
  • No closer than 50m before it
  • Anywhere outside school hours
  • No closer than 20m before and 10m after it, unless a sign says you can Correct

Why that's the answer

You must not stop or park within 20m before and 10m after a children's crossing or pedestrian crossing unless a sign says you can — the clear space is what lets drivers and children see each other.
