[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the situation. Everyone should park in a legal way. Does the street permit parking on both sides of the street? If so, everyone on the right parks facing one way and everyone on the left parks facing one way. [/quote]

Op here. First response trying to address my question.

The ones on the right were parked one way and ones on left parked opposite way, basically the direction they would be driving in. Problem was no space for any other car that wants to go through. One car not involved could not go through since there was no gap in the road to swerve around parked cars and no one moved.

By logic I would have thought the cars in front of that car would move forward further down the road leaving a gap for that car to swerve around them to the left and go by but they didn't. If a car came behind me then I should have moved since I was blocking them. But car came in opposite direction. I didn't move either.

Bus came, driver was confused with was going on. That car was stuck in front of bus. Bus parked behind him and kids got off. Poor car guy was stuck behind the cars in front of him for 5 minutes. Courtesy would have been for cars on his side to move but they didn't.

Legally I am curious what are the laws regarding this, hence this post.

I can’t picture a street with legal parking on both sides that makes it impossible to pass. That makes no sense.  Which side has legal parking?

If it’s really unclear, then whoever arrives first parks and everyone else finds a spot that leaves the road clear which is likely on the same side as person 1.

If the answer is neither side has legal parking then you need to either drop your kid and leave, which should be fine since this is not a stop with 1 kid, or park in the nearest legal spot and walk your kid over.[/quote]
