📖 Topic overview
This section covers how to park legally and safely in Missouri. It explains where you may and may not stop your vehicle, the steps to secure a parked car, and the special techniques for parking on a hill or parallel parking. Knowing these rules helps you avoid fines and keep your parked vehicle from rolling or blocking traffic.
Always park far enough from the travel lane so you stay visible and do not interfere with traffic. On one-way streets you may normally park on either the right or the left side. Before you leave, set the parking brake, leave a manual transmission in gear or an automatic in park, remove the keys, and lock the doors. When parking on a hill, turn your wheels sharply toward the side of the road so the vehicle would roll away from traffic.
Do not park in an intersection, on a crosswalk or sidewalk, across a driveway, or on the left side of a two-way street. Do not park along a yellow-painted curb, on a bridge, blocking a fire hydrant, blocking traffic, or facing against traffic. Handicapped spaces may be used only when a placard or plate is displayed and a handicapped person is the occupant or is being dropped off or picked up; illegal parking there is punishable by a fine of no less than $50 and no more than $300 upon conviction.
Which way should I turn my wheels when parking on a hill?
Turn your wheels sharply toward the side of the road so that if the vehicle rolled, it would roll away from traffic. Also set the parking brake, leave the vehicle in the proper gear, remove the keys, check your mirror, and lock the doors before leaving.
How do I parallel park?
Stop even with the vehicle ahead, about 1.5 feet to its left. Turn the wheels sharply right and back slowly, then sharply left, then sharply right to pull toward the curb, ending in the center of the space.
When may I use a handicapped parking space?
Only when a placard or plate is displayed and a handicapped person is the occupant or is being dropped off or picked up. Parking there illegally is punishable by a fine of no less than $50 and no more than $300 upon conviction, and it is illegal to park in the access aisles or to misuse a placard or plates.
