What is a less wordy way of describing how this car is situated?

Question

I'm sitting on a bench in a park and I see this car sitting in the middle of a side street. Well, it's not actually in the middle of the street, but like right at the spot where you're about to make a right/left turn out onto the main road. It's been sitting there for about half an hour now. It's not an intersection where the car is at, it's just a side street that's leading off from the main road. If I were to describe what I had seen to someone else, how do I say it without sounding too wordy? For example, instead of describing all that I've just did above, is there a single expression that can describe the position of the car at where it's sitting, like "The car have been sitting at the [...] for half an hour now without moving, there have been no cars coming out or else it would have gotten chased off".

Edit: actually I've found a similar image:

Answer 1

In British English, the word you're looking for is junction.

junction noun
1 a point where two or more things are joined:
   the junction of the two rivers
a place where two or more roads or railway lines meet:
   the junction of Queen’s Road and Lancaster Avenue

[ODO]

 

The car has been sitting at the junction for half an hour without moving.
