USAREUR Practice Exam

Where is parking on the left allowed?

1. On one-way streets and streets with streetcar tracks

2. On two-way streets only

3. On rural country roads

4. On highways only

The correct answer is: On one-way streets and streets with streetcar tracks

Parking on the left is allowed on one-way streets and streets with streetcar tracks because these types of roads are designed to facilitate the flow of traffic in a designated direction. In many jurisdictions, on a one-way street, it is permissible to park on either side of the roadway, provided that it does not obstruct traffic or violate any specific local regulations. Additionally, on streets that have streetcar tracks, parking may be allowed on the left side to ensure accessibility for streetcars, as long as it does not interfere with the operational space required for the streetcars and does not pose a hazard to other vehicles or pedestrians. The other options may present restrictions on parking due to the nature of the roads and safety concerns. For example, parking on two-way streets may have specific regulations that require vehicles to park on the right side to avoid hazards for oncoming traffic. Rural country roads and highways often have different sets of rules that focus on safety and traffic flow, generally discouraging parking in active travel lanes to prevent accidents or congestion.
