Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No; parking on the sidewalk is prohibited.

As a general rule, you must not park any vehicle on the sidewalk, including a motorcycle, regardless of its engine displacement. Only a municipal ordinance may allow two-wheeled vehicles to stop or park on the sidewalk, and they must always stay out of pedestrians' way. In the image, the red motorcycle is parked on the sidewalk while pedestrians with a stroller walk past.
