On a typical street, how should you park relative to the curb without obstructing traffic?

Parking along a street means staying parallel to the curb so you sit in line with the flow of traffic and don’t block the lane. Keep the vehicle close to the curb with wheels straight so you can roll out smoothly if needed and you’re not sticking out into traffic or driveways. Parking perpendicular or angled uses extra space and can block other vehicles, while parking in the middle of the street is unsafe and not allowed. The straight, parallel approach is the proper way to park on a typical street.
