To Make Streets Safe, Make Them Dangerous

I just visited Sweden where I learned that cars are not allowed to park 10 meters from the corner. I could be wrong on the 10m (someone on the street just told me when I was parking) - but the idea that cars should not be parked adjacent to the intersection is great.

There are rules in much or most of the US on distances from corners. They just happen to be violated, a lot. I live in Washington, DC, where one does find signs explicitly setting the distance, but it seems to me from long ago driver's tests that jurisdictions do have a standard distance.
