There are regulations for parking with the front of the car facing out. Introduction to parking lots: A parking lot is a place designated for vehicle parking. Basic information about parking lots: Parking lots can range from simple ones with only marked parking spaces and no management or fees, to fee-based parking lots equipped with entry and exit barriers, parking attendants, and time-based payment collectors. Modern parking lots often feature automated timing and payment systems, closed-circuit television, and video recording systems. The legal responsibility of parking lot owners and managers is typically limited to providing space for drivers to park their vehicles, without guaranteeing protection against vehicle damage or theft. Generally, a disclaimer clause is posted outside the parking lot entrance for vehicle owners to review.
As a veteran driver who frequently takes long trips, I believe that parking nose-out is indeed worth paying attention to. Actually, there's no direct regulation on the direction of the car's nose, but most parking lot management rules do require it. I remember last time at a mall parking lot, a security guard specifically reminded me to turn my car around because there was a sign saying 'Reverse parking fined 50 yuan.' Parking nose-out not only reduces blind spots and the risk of reversing but also allows for a 3-second faster evacuation in emergencies. Many city fire regulations include this rule—vehicles must park nose-out within 30 meters of a fire lane. My experience is: following the ground arrow indicators is the safest bet, with the red arrow indicating the direction the nose should face. If there really are no signs, choosing the same direction as other vehicles is always a safe bet.
