The 5m you refer to, only applies to a parking prohibition on the roadway
Not on the verge (either level or elevated)

When parking, you should park on the verges first (unless prohibited) instead of on the roadway.
Only when you're not allowed to park on the verges or when they're unsuitable for parking, are you allowed to park (partially or fully) on the roadway


In one case, the Q is not about parking in from of the pedestrian crossing, but about parking ON the pedestrian crossing (if it is continued onto the verge) , or on the verge "in line" with the pedestrian crossing (in which case you'd hinder pedestrians by doing so, and all obstructive parking is prohibited anyways)

Thank you so much for the response.

With about 600 signs, markings, and conditional rules all governing parking, plus illegal local fantasies, it's not surprising people get confused about parking ...
