Parking too close to a crosswalk?

If I recall correctly from my driver's ed classes, you aren't allowed to park within a certain distance of a crosswalk.
I’m wondering if that rule has been scrapped? Lately, everywhere I look, they seem to be painting parking spots right up against the edge of the crosswalk. Honestly, it makes me incredibly uneasy. I worry someone might step out blindly. Even when I'm cruising at a cautious 20 mph, there isn't enough time to slam on the brakes before hitting a pedestrian stepping out from behind a parked car or a large SUV.
Is this way of marking the streets actually legal?

The rule says five meters, but nobody actually follows it, and even the cops usually let you slide if you're within two.

If the "experts" decided to mark the parking spot right up against the crosswalk, that’s on them. You aren't liable for the fine, and honestly, you might even want to file a complaint against the contractor.

My issue isn't actually about the parking itself; it's about the sheer unpredictability. When a large van pulls up right on the edge of a crosswalk—even if they are technically in a designated spot—it’s not enough to just tap the brakes. Every single crosswalk feels like a game of Russian roulette. If you hit a pedestrian, we all know the consequences are massive, but nobody is going to stop and ask why your line of sight was blocked by a vehicle in the first place.😠

Just report them to the Department of Public Works or whatever they call it these days.

But it was just a city that drained me dry😢
