What is the appropriate way to park when angled parking is not clearly indicated?

When angled parking is not clearly indicated, the appropriate way to park is to position the vehicle parallel to the curb, heading in the direction of traffic. This method ensures safe and efficient use of the roadway by allowing other vehicles to pass easily and preventing obstruction of traffic flow. By parking in the same direction as incoming traffic, it reduces the risk of accidents and improves visibility for other drivers and pedestrians.

Parking against the flow of traffic, as suggested by other options, can lead to dangerous situations, as it may cause a driver to have to back into traffic or create confusion on the road. Additionally, maintaining a distance from the curb is essential for preventing damage to the vehicle and to facilitate easier access for pedestrians. Overall, parking to the curb and in the direction of oncoming traffic enhances public safety and adherence to traffic regulations.
