Explanation
When parallel parking next to a curb, you must position your vehicle no more than 18 inches away from the curb. Parking farther out can obstruct traffic and may result in a parking violation. This rule ensures that your vehicle is safely out of the lane of travel, while still close enough to the curb to avoid creating a hazard for passing vehicles. Adjust your position if you're too far from the curb after parking.
