How close to an intersection may you park?
The rule
Don't park within 20 feet of an intersection, and never on a crosswalk or a sidewalk.
Park at least 20 feet from an intersection, and never on the crosswalk itself. Hydrant 15 feet, intersection 20, railroad crossing 50.
From the Virginia Driver's Manual, section 3, page 22. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
