Alberta Class 7 Practice

Angle parking Angle parking is most often used in parking lots. The spaces may be on an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the traffic lane. The following steps should be used to enter an angle parking space on the right: • Turn on your right turn signal and reduce your speed. • Drive parallel to the curb and remain about one and a half metres (five feet) away from the rear of the parked vehicle. • When you can see along the left side of the vehicle parked to the right of the vacant parking space, steer sharply to the right. Look through the centre of the stall while moving your vehicle slowly ahead. Your vehicle should be centred in the space. • At about the mid-point of the parking space, straighten your wheels and continue to move forward slowly. Check the left front bumper and the right rear bumper of your vehicle, making sure they are not too close to the parked vehicles on either side. • Keep moving slowly forward until the front wheel makes light contact with the curb or is within 50 centimetres (20 inches) of the curb.
