Parallel parking
MTO Driver’s Handbook: Safe and Responsible Driving, Parallel parking
Parallel parking means parking with your wheels parallel and next to the curb. Park parallel to the curb where parking is allowed unless signs say vehicles should park at an angle, and park on the right side of the road in the direction of traffic. Unless signs say otherwise, you may parallel park on both sides of a one-way road.
