double park
Illegal curbside stop
Double park is to park a vehicle alongside one already parked at the curb, blocking it in.
The practice is illegal in most places but common in crowded urban areas where drivers stop briefly: I'll just double park while you run in.
Double-parked cars force traffic to squeeze around them.
