When driving along parked vehicles, you should maintain a distance of at least three feet to ensure safety and avoid potential hazards, such as a door opening unexpectedly. This distance helps prevent collisions and allows for enough space for pedestrians or cyclists who may be navigating in that area. Always be alert and ready to react to sudden movements from parked vehicles.
If the street has only one travel lane - position your vehicle in the center of the traffic lane.

Vehicles should always be left in neutral when parked.

From the rear, front, and left side. If approaching a vehicle from the right side while parallel parked it means you've parked illegaly facing on coming traffic.
The owner of the parked car is at fault if they open their door into traffic. Their insurance should pay for the damages to the driving car.
