Can You Park in a Yellow Parking Space?
2 Answers
Roadside yellow parking spaces are not for parking. Here are the details: 1. Meaning of parking space markings: Blue indicates free parking spaces, white indicates paid parking spaces, and yellow indicates exclusive parking spaces. 2. Parking space dimensions: New parking spaces can be set parallel, perpendicular, or at an angle to the road, depending on road width and traffic conditions. The maximum size of a parking space is 15.6 meters long and 3.25 meters wide, suitable for medium and large vehicles. The minimum size is 6 meters long and 2.5 meters wide, suitable for small vehicles. When conditions are limited, the width can be reduced as needed, but not less than 2 meters. The width of the parking space line is 10 centimeters.
I remember when I first started learning to drive, I always thought yellow parking spaces were free for all, and ended up getting fined twice. Yellow usually indicates no parking, meant to prevent traffic congestion or blocking emergency lanes. If you park there, you might get a ticket from traffic police, or even have your car towed, leading to extra costs. I learned my lesson and now always check the ground markings and nearby signs before parking. By the way, different colored parking spaces have different meanings: white spaces are generally free parking zones, blue ones may have payment rules, and green could be time-limited parking. Developing the habit of checking can save you a lot of hassle and also helps maintain city order.
