Tight Left Parallel Parking · Opposite Wall

Park on the left with a wall limiting the front swing on the opposite side and a short gap between the parked cars.

Observe the opposite wall before reversing. Keep the first arc shallow enough to leave room for the nose, brake before each direction change and use small corrections to bring the car parallel. Brake before each direction change. Use small forward and reverse arcs to bring the car parallel without swinging the front into the neighboring vehicle.

What to observe

Check the right front corner against the wall while watching the curbside rear wheel. Stop and reposition if either margin closes.
