Hikari

Five meters? That feels pretty far from the corner to still count as 'no parking.'

Misaki

It's actually correct—both stopping and parking are banned within five meters of any intersection edge.

Hikari

Wait, even stopping? So I can't pull over there at all?

Misaki

Only if you're stopped for a red light or to avoid danger. Otherwise, keep that five-meter zone clear.
