📖 Topic overview
This chapter covers where you're never allowed to park, stop, or stand a vehicle (like intersections, crosswalks, or fire hydrants), and the correct techniques for parallel parking and parking on a hill.
The most-tested concepts are recognizing the situations where stopping is completely prohibited versus just parking, understanding the specific rules protecting disabled parking spaces, and knowing the step-by-step method for parallel parking and for turning your wheels correctly when parked on a grade.
Common mistakes include confusing "no parking" zones with "no stopping/standing" zones (some places allow a brief stop but never allow parking), and forgetting to set the parking brake or turn wheels toward the curb when parking on a hill.
What's the difference between "parking," "stopping," and "standing"?
Parking means leaving your vehicle unattended for longer periods; standing means stopping briefly, usually while remaining in or near the vehicle (such as loading passengers); the handbook lists separate rules for each, and some locations restrict all three while others only restrict parking.
Why do certain distances near hydrants, crosswalks, or intersections stay clear of parked cars?
Keeping those spaces open protects sightlines and access for pedestrians, emergency responders, and other drivers — a car parked too close to a hydrant or a crosswalk can block an emergency response or hide pedestrians from oncoming traffic.
What should I do with my wheels when parking on a hill?
Turn your wheels toward the curb (or in the appropriate direction based on the grade and whether there's a curb) so that if the vehicle starts to roll, it rolls into the curb rather than into traffic.
