diagonal parking

Angled curb spots

Diagonal parking is a parking arrangement where vehicles are positioned at an angle to the curb, typically 45 to 60 degrees.

Common in parking lots and along wide streets, it allows drivers to pull in and back out more easily than parallel parking: The downtown strip has diagonal parking on both sides.

Also called angle parking.
