What are the rules for parking on corners?

The highway code states that you should not park within 15ft of a corner. There is a very good reason for this. Imagine an emergency in a residential area and the fire engine or ambulance cant get around the corner and so is unable to attend the emergency because someone is parked selfishly on a corner.

It also blocks the view of vehicles, increasing the possibility of accidents. Most communities actually have the curbs painted yellow and typically post signs on city streets. Most sub-divisions don't have these warning items, but the law still stands.
