Question 4045

Is it prohibited to park in a second row (double-park)?

  1. No, when there is no suitable place nearby.
  2. No, provided the vehicle does not obstruct traffic or pose a danger.
  3. Yes, always.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, always.

Double-parking is always prohibited, even if you are not in anyone's way, there are no available spaces nearby, or you stay inside the car. Stopping for less than two minutes is different: stopping alongside parked vehicles may be allowed if you do not block other vehicles from passing or pulling out.
