Yes, during the New Jersey driving test, you are required to parallel park within 6 inches of the curb. This standard ensures that the vehicle is parked safely and correctly in relation to the road. Failing to meet this requirement can result in a deduction of points or a failure of the test. It's essential to practice and demonstrate proper parallel parking skills to pass the driving test.
From the Calfornia DMV web page on parking: When you park alongside a curb on a level street, the front and back wheels must be parallel and within 18 inches of the curb. Park parallel to the street if there is no curb.

Most states recommend that you keep your wheels about 6 inches away from the curb, but do not penalize you if your vehicle is within 18 inches from the curb. Anything further than that, and you fail the maneuver. The statute governing this distance is different from state to state, and maybe even city-to-city.
