Reverse angle parking is a safer type of on - street parking . While it looks different than a traditional parking lot or parallel parking , it’s as easy as 1 - 2 - 3!
Signal a right turn to warn other drivers
Pull past the parking space and stop
Reverse into the parking spot
Reverse angle parking has many benefits:
Improved visibility and increased field of vision . When leaving the parking space , you can see oncoming vehicles and don’t need to back out blindly from the parking space .
Improved safety . Car doors open in a manner than directs children to the back of the vehicle , toward the sidewalk not towards traffic .
Improved loading and unloading onto the sidewalk away from traffic .
Easier than parallel parking . Backing into an angled space is easier than parallel parking .
More spaces in the same amount of space as compared to parallel parking . In the area near Centro , we have eight reverse angle spaces where only three to four parallel spaces would have been possible .
In the next few weeks we will be adding signage to the existing spots on Nash Street near Centro . For now the spots are not time limited , but we expect to add a time restriction once the apartments and retail space open .
