Perpendicular parking is a method of parking where vehicles are positioned at a right angle, or 90 degrees, to the curb or parking lines. This type of parking is commonly found in parking lots and garages, allowing for efficient use of space. Drivers typically enter the parking space by driving straight in, making it easier to park in tight areas. To successfully execute perpendicular parking, drivers should align their vehicle with the designated parking space and ensure they have enough room to maneuver. It is important to check for nearby pedestrians and other vehicles to avoid accidents while parking.
