Back-In Angled Parking
Back-In Angled Parking requires motorists to back into an angled on-street parking spot and to drive forward when exiting a parking spot . Back-in angled parking increases the visibility of passing vehicles and bicycles while exiting a spot , particularly if large adjacent vehicles obstruct sight , and allows trunk unloading to happen on the curb instead of in the street .
