Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to general regulations, stopping and parking must be done by positioning the vehicle parallel to the edge of the roadway (known as parallel parking). This arrangement aims to occupy the least possible width of the road so as not to obstruct traffic. Other options, such as diagonal (angle) or perpendicular (bay) parking, are only correct if road markings or vertical signs explicitly require it. Parking crosswise or occupying both lanes is strictly prohibited for safety reasons.
