Where I’m from the legal infraction is that the right side wheels are more than half a meter from the curb (I learned this from the ticket I got for parking on the wrong side of the street)

I know in my city it’s not legal. Someone did this and a police officer walked up to them and told them to park it sideways. I was really pissed at the cop. They weren’t blocking the street.

We have something similar, it’s not half a metre though, more like twenty centimetres. The reason being that it must allow for the cleaning of the gutter. It’s not really enforced though.

I don’t see why. I would park my motorcycles in the same way on busy streets.

Just because a cop tells you not to do it doesn’t mean it’s illegal. They’re known for throwing their weight around over very little.

Oh I don’t doubt that for a second.

True, but depending on the city there’s basically no real way to dispute a parking ticket. Most of the time a judge will just automatically side with the city

In many places the passenger side of the vehicle is legally required to be at curbside.

Most definitely, my point was only that you shouldn’t assume something is illegal because a cop told you not to do it.
