Practice question

Is it permissible to park on both sides of a one-way street?

  1. Yes, at all times
  2. No, only on one side
  3. Only when it's allowed by signs
  4. Only for emergencies

Answer: B — No, only on one side

On a one-way street, parking is permitted only on one side. This is primarily for safety and traffic flow reasons, allowing vehicles to navigate without encountering parked cars on both sides, which could result in obstructed lanes and increase the risk of accidents. Ensuring that parking is limited to one side of a one-way street helps maintain a clear pathway for moving vehicles and simplifies navigation for drivers. While there may be more specific regulations or exceptions based on local laws or signage, the general rule is to allow parking on just one side. Therefore, understanding these guidelines is crucial for safe driving and adherence to traffic laws. Other options may suggest either unrestricted parking or conditions under which parking might be allowed, but they do not align with standard practices for one-way street regulations.
