Question 7242

When the vehicle cannot be positioned parallel to the edge of the roadway, could stopping or parking be permitted by leaving the vehicle in another position?

  1. Only if there is a sign that permits angled parking.
  2. Yes, when the characteristics of the road or other circumstances make it advisable.
  3. No, under no circumstances.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, when the characteristics of the road or other circumstances make it advisable.

As a general rule, you stop and park parallel to the edge of the roadway, but you may position your vehicle differently when the road or circumstances make it advisable; no specific sign is needed. In the image, the pavement markings outline perpendicular parking spaces.
