Does the 90-second parallel parking time include the entry time?

[Quinn]

The 90-second parallel parking time does not include the entry time. Timing starts when the vehicle enters the parallel parking area and ends when it exits the area. Timing begins when the vehicle enters the parallel parking test area and ends when it exits the area. The time is calculated from the moment the vehicle enters the parallel parking test zone until it exits, with a maximum allowed interval of 90 seconds. The parallel parking zone starts 4 meters before the parking space and has a total length of 17.7 meters, with the parking space itself being 7 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. The test is considered complete once the vehicle exits the stop line after successfully parking. With proper technique, the maneuver can be completed in half the allotted time. To maintain a 30cm distance from the lane line, use the node on the windshield wiper as a reference point to align with the line. For steering timing, observe the right rear wheel center and the left front corner of the parking space in the right rearview mirror—when the wheel center reaches the corner, quickly turn the steering wheel one full turn to the right. To straighten the wheels, watch the left rearview mirror and return the steering wheel to center as soon as the right rear corner of the parking space becomes visible. Failing criteria include the vehicle body crossing the line after parking, not using or incorrectly using turn signals when exiting (10-point deduction), exceeding the 90-second time limit (failure), the vehicle body touching the parking space boundary lines during movement (10-point deduction per occurrence), wheels touching the lane boundary lines (10-point deduction per occurrence), and stopping for more than 2 seconds during the maneuver (5-point deduction per occurrence).
