What does double parking mean?

Double parking means parking on the roadway side of a stopped vehicle, so you’re parked in the travel lane next to it. This blocks traffic and creates a hazard for other drivers trying to pass or for the vehicle that’s already stopped. Parking in a driveway, on the opposite curb, or in a parking lot doesn’t involve occupying the travel lane beside another stopped car, so those scenarios aren’t double parking. Always choose a legal space and avoid blocking traffic.
