What is one condition under which parking is typically prohibited?

Parking next to a stop sign is typically prohibited because it can obstruct the view of oncoming traffic for drivers approaching the sign. This obstruction can create a hazardous situation for both the driver at the stop sign and those traveling on the intersecting street, increasing the risk of accidents. Visibility is crucial at stop signs to ensure that drivers can see any vehicles or pedestrians crossing the intersection safely. By prohibiting parking in such areas, traffic laws aim to maintain clear sight lines and enhance overall road safety.

In contrast, parking is generally allowed in parking garages and parking lots unless otherwise indicated, as these areas are specifically designed for vehicle storage. Parking along a driveway can vary based on local regulations, but it is often allowed unless it blocks access to a property.
