How close to an intersection may you park?
The rule
Don't park within 20 feet of an intersection, and never park in a crosswalk.
Park at least 20 feet from an intersection, so drivers and people crossing can see each other.
From the Massachusetts Driver's Manual, page 110. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the RMV have the final word.
