§ 31-5-512 — Parking alongside curbs or on edge of roadways; angle parking; power of highway department to place devices restricting parking

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section every
vehicle stopped or parked upon a two-way roadway shall be
stopped or parked with the right-hand wheels of the vehicle
parallel to and within eighteen (18) inches of the right-hand
curb or as close as practicable to the right edge of the
right-hand shoulder.
(b) Except as otherwise provided by local ordinance, every
vehicle stopped or parked upon a one-way roadway shall be
stopped or parked parallel to the curb or edge of the roadway,
in the direction of authorized traffic movement, with its
right-hand wheels within eighteen (18) inches of the right-hand
curb or as close as practicable to the right edge of the
right-hand shoulder, or with its left-hand wheels within
eighteen (18) inches of the left-hand curb or as close as
practicable to the left edge of the left-hand shoulder.
(c) Local authorities may permit angle parking on any
roadway, except that angle parking shall not be permitted on any
federal-aid or state highway unless the highway department has
determined that the roadway is of sufficient width to permit
angle parking without interfering with the free movement of
traffic.
(d) The highway department with respect to highways under
its jurisdiction may place official traffic-control devices
prohibiting, limiting or restricting the stopping, standing or
parking of vehicles on any highway where in its opinion
stopping, standing or parking, is dangerous to those using the
highway or where the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles
would unduly interfere with the free movement of traffic. No
person shall stop, stand or park any vehicle in violation of the
restrictions indicated by the devices.
