Palmdale, CA says you need to be within a foot and a half (18")22502(a) CVC - Curb Parking. Every vehicle parked at a curb where two-way traffic is permitted must be stopped or parked with the right hand wheels parallel to and within 18 inches of the curb. Where no curbs are present, right hand parallel parking is required, unless otherwise indicated by signs or other markings. Prohibited would be parking with the LEFT side wheels to the curb or parking at an angle to the roadway on the unpaved shoulder of a street.I presume it is the same for most places in California.
Usually no more than 1 foot (12 inches). Some city or township ordinances have laws that you can be ticketed if you are more than a foot from the curb.
yes parallel is an adjective because an ajective is a disribing word. ex: his car was parked parallel to mine
My understanding is the vehicle must be off the tar at least a resonable amount. New york law says 6". California doesn't really specify as far as I can tell and I've driven for 25 years in CA... From curb to tar is normally around 10-12"
depends on the car
