When your vehicle is properly parked in a straight parking space, you should ensure that it is centered within the lines, allowing enough space on both sides for other vehicles to maneuver. The vehicle should be parked with the wheels straight and not touching the curb or any obstacles. Additionally, always engage the parking brake to prevent any movement, and make sure to turn off the engine and remove the keys before exiting the vehicle.
When a vehicle is properly parked in a straight-in parking space, it should not extend into the traffic lane at all. The entire vehicle should be contained within the designated parking space boundaries. This ensures safety for both parked vehicles and moving traffic, allowing for clear access and minimizing the risk of accidents.
When your vehicle is properly parked in a straight-in parking space, it should be entirely within the designated lines of the parking space.
