    Default Parking close to a residential corner... where is the 5m measured from?

    Is it 5m measured as per the red line? OR 5m measured from the blue line?

    The curb ends at the red line, so I would say there.

    The space at the end of the block is an inviting temptation to the frustrated driver looking for parking. Beware! The bylaw requires vehicles to park 5 metres from the inside edge of the intersecting sidewalk. How far is 5 metres? It's roughly 16 feet, which is over a car length. This restriction is intended to provide pedestrians, cyclists and motorists with both a clear field of vision and plenty of space when approaching intersections.

    Sounds like blue, but not from the outer edge but the inside edge so like another meter back.

    Yeah, that is what I get from the wording there.
