Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You drive on a two-way street. Your friend's house is on the left side, and there is an open space at the left curb in front of it. Where should you park?
A drives east on a two-way street. The card identifies the friend’s house and open space on A’s left.
Correct answer: At the right curb for your direction of travel
Why
Virginia law requires a stopped vehicle to be close to and parallel to the right edge of the roadway, with an exception for one-way streets. A car that is parked against traffic points its headlights at oncoming drivers at night and must cross the traffic flow to leave. Park where your car faces the same way as the traffic next to it.
