Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
When safety permits ordinary parking beside a right-hand curb, with no bikeway or buffer between the parking lane and curb, where should the right wheels be?
An empty two-way road has concrete curbs and sidewalks on both sides. No vehicle, tires or wheel-to-curb dimension is shown.
Correct answer: Within 12 inches
Why
Keep the right-hand wheels within 12 inches of the curb when safety permits. If a bikeway or its buffer lies between the parking lane and curb, the statute uses the edge of that bikeway or buffer as the reference instead. Obey the applicable parking controls and keep clear of pedestrian space.
