What is the correct way to park a motorcycle on the roadside?

Parking a motorcycle correctly on the roadside involves several safety and legal considerations. The best practice is to park parallel to the curb. This method ensures that the motorcycle is positioned in a way that minimizes interference with other traffic and maintains the flow of pedestrians on sidewalks.

Positioning the motorcycle at 90 degrees to the curb may create an obstruction, making it more susceptible to being knocked over or creating a hazard for vehicles and pedestrians. It could also lead to possible violations of parking regulations, depending on the local rules.

Choosing to park at a 45-degree angle can sometimes prevent some conflicts, but it is generally not the standard recommendation for roadside parking of motorcycles in most areas. Lastly, parking in designated motorcycle parking spaces usually provides the safest option, as they are specifically designed for motorcycles. However, if no designated space exists, parking parallel to the curb would be the appropriate action.
