Angle parking

What the rule means

Angle parking is allowed where signs or road markings show it is permitted.

When the rule applies

• A sign or line marking provides angle parking.
• The bay layout shows how vehicles should be positioned.
• The sign does not specify a different angle or direction.

Examples

• Angle parking where only parallel parking is allowed.
• Parking front-in when the sign or bay requires another direction.
• Leaving the vehicle outside marked angle bay lines.

Common mistakes

• Assuming angled parking is allowed because other cars are doing it.
• Missing direction markings.
• Blocking adjacent bays or traffic lanes.

Exceptions

• A sign may specify a different angle or vehicle direction.
• Marked bay lines should be followed.
• Temporary works may change the parking layout.

Fines and penalties

Possible penalties depend on the current offence code, location, time and evidence. Check the notice itself and official NSW sources.

What to do if you receive a fine

Read the notice, check the sign and location details, gather photos or permits, then decide whether to pay or request a review.
