Parking is not allowed in places where it would block access or create hazards for other drivers and pedestrians. In front of driveways blocks entry for vehicles; on sidewalks forces pedestrians to share or walk in the street; on crosswalks can obscure pedestrians as they cross; and in restricted zones is where signs or markings forbid parking. These rules exist to keep traffic moving smoothly and to maintain visibility and safety. The highway shoulder isn’t a regular parking space, except in emergencies, so it’s not considered a typical parking spot. Parking in a lot with permission is allowed, and parking in front of a friend’s house isn’t automatically prohibited unless there are signs or local restrictions. That’s why the statement listing those common prohibited spots is the correct one.
