Explanation
When parallel parking, you should park on the right-hand side of the street, in line with traffic and other parked vehicles-unless you are on a one-way street, where parking on either side may be allowed. Always use your turn signal to indicate your intention to park, check for traffic and pedestrians, and ensure you’re not in a restricted zone.
