Is there a regulation on the direction of the parked car's front?

There is no regulation on the direction of the parked car's front, but for convenience, it is recommended that car owners park with the car's front facing outward. Although the Road Traffic Safety Law does not explicitly mention that the front of the car must face a certain direction when parking, it clearly states that vehicles must not drive against the traffic and must follow road markings. Therefore, parking spaces on both sides of the road must be parked in the direction of travel, otherwise, starting the vehicle will inevitably result in driving against the traffic. Parking with the front facing outward facilitates vehicle rescue. Most cars have front-mounted engines, so if the vehicle malfunctions, there is more space for emergency repairs or jump-starting. When there is a fluid leak, parking with the front facing outward also makes it easier to detect, enhancing safety.
