Which statement about double parking is true?

Double parking is not allowed because it blocks part of a traffic lane and creates a hazard for other drivers and pedestrians. When you park in a way that leaves only one travel lane or forces other vehicles to swerve around you, you’re impeding the flow of traffic and increasing the risk of crashes. In Nova Scotia, you should park only in designated spaces or at the curb where you don’t block the roadway. If something urgent happens and you must stop, pull over to the curb as safely as possible and avoid blocking traffic. The idea that it’s acceptable during emergencies, or simply because traffic is light or you’re in a residential area, isn’t correct.
