What type of parking involves positioning a vehicle parallel to the curb?

Diagonal parking
Angle parking
Parallel parking
Perpendicular parking

The correct answer is: Parallel parking

Parallel parking is the maneuver where a vehicle is positioned alongside the curb, typically in line with other parked cars. This method of parking requires the driver to reverse into a space, aligning the vehicle so that it is parallel to the curb and maintains sufficient distance from adjacent vehicles. The technique emphasizes the importance of spatial awareness and control of vehicle placement and is often practiced in urban areas where street parking is necessary. In contrast, diagonal parking involves vehicles angling into parking spaces towards the curb, angle parking also refers to orientations but at a specific angle instead of parallel, and perpendicular parking denotes a direct approach at a 90-degree angle to the curb or parking space. Each of these alternative options serves different parking layouts and scenarios, making parallel parking unique in its orientation.
