No yellow lines so could they have parked on the road? Which would have made the view even worse wouldn't it?0

Which would have made the view even worse wouldn't it?Drivers could look across the pavement/verge where the white car is now. and approaching traffic would see them to the left of the parked cars (if they were looking out for emerging traffic......)There is of course, some advice in the Highway code about parking right next to a junction
I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

From the Gov website:
DO NOT stop or park:
opposite or within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction, except in an authorised parking space.

Yes, from the Highway code, rule 243. But DO NOT is not a legal requirement, unlike MUST NOT, which will reference the relevant legislation.EssexExile said:From the Gov website:

Probably covered by this rule.
242
You MUST NOT leave your vehicle or trailer in a dangerous position or where it causes any unnecessary obstruction of the road.
