	Parallel parking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cars parked in parallel are in one line, parallel to the curb, with the front bumper of each car facing the back bumper of an adjacent one.
		Since parallel parking is parallel to the curb of a road, roads that facilitate said parking have an extra lane or a large shoulder for parked cars.
		Ensure that your desired parking space is about 2 meters (~~6 feet) longer than your vehicle (although some highly skilled drivers are capable of parking in spaces that are within 0.3 m (one foot) of their vehicle length.

	NYS DMV - Driver's Manual - Chapter 7
		To pull out of a parallel parking space, make sure your wheels are straight, back up to the vehicle behind you, and turn your wheels away from the curb.
		You can help by parking in reserved spaces only if you have a permit or plates for people with disabilities, and only when the person who received the permit or plates is in the vehicle.
		It is illegal for any vehicle to park, stop, or stand in a space reserved for the disabled unless it has license plates for the disabled issued by the DMV, a New York State Parking Permit for the Disabled (MV-664) issued by a locality, or a similar plate or permit issued by another state.

	Write-Up 2
		Before I decided which method of parking is best for AlgebraVille, I had to look at all possible methods: angle on both sides parallel on both sides, perpendicular on both sides and finally parallel on one side and perpendicular on the other.
		At first I thought that angle parking will be the best, since this is the way a lot of street has it, but then I figured out that by having angel parking in our specific situation I will be wasting a lot of parking space.
		If we have parallel parking for both sides of the street we will be wasting 10 feet of the width of the street.

		This is one step better than the parking aids currently available, which merely measure the distance to an obstacle and warn the driver if collision is imminent.
		These measurements give the Parking Assistant a system of 16 non-linear equations involving the known coordinates of the sensors and the unknown coordinates of the target.
		Already the Parking Assistant will take control of a car to stop it if an imminent collision is detected, perhaps because a pedestrian steps in the way or the driver misjudges the angle of approach.

	Volvo XC Forums - Parallel parking on a steep hill
		A week ago I had to parallel park my '03 XC70 on a very steep hill and found the car was very cumbersome to park pointing uphill when trying to go back and forth to get the car closer to the curb.
		My wife exclaimed to me that she was glad it was me parking the car and not her -- this of course labours the question of how she would have done had she been parking the car.
		My advise when trying to parallel park on an uphill grade would be to use neutral when reversing, and use the brake to modulate your speed when going forward.

	Parallel parking on MG Road from Feb 7 - Deccan Herald (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Angular parking of four-wheelers on Bangalore’s M G Road will be replaced by parallel parking from February 7.
		According to the parallel parking system, vehicles will have to be parked one behind the other along side of the road rather than facing into the side of the road.
		As bumper-to-bumper parking takes up a lot of parking space, the new system is likely to make it difficult for motorists to find parking slots on the busy road.

		The initial requirements for a perfect 'S' shaped parallel parking manoeuvre are: 1) the right starting position 2) the size of the gap available, and 3) the correct manipulation and timing of the steering within the available turning circle.
		The car must start in a parallel position to the car in from and the starting distance from the adjacent car should be equal to the tightest radius of the inner turning circle minus half your car's width.
		During the manoeuvre, reversing should be parallel to the point at which the midpoint between your car's axles lines up with the bumper of the car in front.

		When Main St. was converted from one-way to two-way traffic a few years ago, angle parking was installed on one side of the street and parallel parking on the other from N.W. Barstow to Maple streets.

	Halfbakery: No Turn Parallel Parking
		Now, next time you come across a tight parking space in which it would usually take a seven point turn to wriggle your way in, you just align your car next to it, flip your switch that activates the jacks, and your car is lifted on wheels pointing right at the curb.
		I once saw a film (from the 1950s) of a car whose “spare tire” was really a wheel mounted sideways behind the back bumper, normally not in contact with the road.
		To parallel park, you drive forward into the space and place the front of the car where you want it with the back sticking out diagonally into the road.

	BBC - h2g2 - Parallel Parking
		One of the greatest fears for new drivers, perhaps even more than drunken motorists or three-lane roundabouts, is the possibility that one day they will have to parallel park.
		Admittedly some drivers go through their entire life avoiding parallel parking, but these people are an exception to the rule and often spend a lot of time walking to and from their cars anyway.
		Reverse slowly, and about when your seat is in line with the back wheel of the car in front, turn into the park so you are facing 2 o'clock or 10 o'clock depending on which side of the road you drive on.
