Which type of parking involves positioning the vehicle diagonally to a curb?

Angle parking involves positioning the vehicle diagonally to the curb, typically designed to maximize the use of space in areas where parking is limited. This method allows more cars to park in a smaller area, as the diagonally parked cars can fit in front of or behind other vehicles. Drivers must be cautious when entering and exiting angle parking spots, as the diagonal alignment may require them to navigate the roadway while oncoming traffic may not be fully visible.

In contrast, parallel parking requires a vehicle to be parked parallel to the curb, often between two other parked cars, which involves a different technique. Standard parking, typically referring to perpendicular parking, requires the vehicle to be aligned directly with designated spaces, making it distinct from the angle method. Mid-block U-turns involve maneuvering the vehicle in the opposite direction within an area, which is also unrelated to parking orientation.
