Parkeren

Why is double parking prohibited?

Parking alongside another parked vehicle is prohibited because it blocks the roadway, traffic flow and sightlines.

What does this rule or driving tip mean? Double parking narrows the roadway and can force other drivers to swerve. It also obstructs the view of cyclists and pedestrians.

How to apply this safely Use an official parking space or keep driving.
Let passengers get out only where stopping briefly is safe and permitted.
Do not block a bike lane or an emergency route.

Driving lesson and test tip Don’t let a passenger pressure you into stopping quickly. Find a place where the entire stop is safe and legal.

Remember: Never park alongside a vehicle that is already parked at the roadside.
