It's not hard to turn around. The problem is if it's a busy street, that parking space may not be there if you have to turn around to park in it. Sometimes you've just to grab it while you can.

If the later, who cares? There's literally no impact on anyone, and it may make it marginally easier to enter and exit the car. No harm no foul.

Unless it is a one way, the driver had to drive on the wrong side of the road to get by the curb in that direction.

Pretty sure in moco it is too. You can get a ticket for parking “ left wheels to curb”

I live on a one way street. How exactly am I supposed to avoid parking “left wheels to curb” when I’m parked in front of my house?

I never saw that when I lived in Portland, but I do it here because other people do.

It's legal in most countries in Europe. Not legal in MD.

You're probably the same annoying person who walks on the left side of the sidewalk/path/etc and drives your grocery cart on the left.

This explains a lot.

No one in Maryland parks on the right side, like it's the law you can face either way. But I tried to find a law about this and couldn't.

Why do you care?

Cheverly, MD.
