Road traffic legislation does not specify a minimum distance that must be respected between waiting vehicles and does not expressly impose the obligation to make sure that the distance between vehicles is sufficient for parking the vehicle you are driving.
When you wish to perform a maneuver of exiting from a row of waiting vehicles or entering such a row, you have the obligation to signal the maneuver in time, to give priority to all vehicles that move on the public road, regardless of their direction of travel, as well as the obligation to make sure that you can perform the maneuver without disturbing the traffic or without endangering the safety of the other road users.
If you intend to stop the vehicle by entering a row of waiting vehicles, it is not necessary to be concerned about the existence of the sign "No waiting", because stopping is allowed when encountering this sign, stopping being the voluntary immobilization of a vehicle for no more than 5 minutes.
