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

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".
