Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: No, unless it is permitted by the Local Traffic Sign Authority, by means of an appropriate signpost or marking.
Standing a vehicle less than twelve meters from a junction is forbidden, unless the Traffic Sign Authority allows it with an appropriate sign or marking. A vehicle near a junction blocks the view of drivers and pedestrians and gets in the way of turning traffic. The rule applies on every road, whatever the number of lanes or the direction the vehicle faces.
