How should a motorcycle be parked on the road?

When parking a motorcycle on the road, angling it with the rear wheel touching the curb is advisable for several reasons. This positioning minimizes the risk of the motorcycle tipping over, especially in windy conditions or if someone accidentally bumps into it. By placing the rear wheel against the curb, the bike is secured in place and less likely to roll away.

Furthermore, this method allows for better visibility and easier access for pedestrians, as well as reducing the chance of obstructing traffic. It often aligns with municipal regulations, as many localities specify that motorcycles should not take up more space than necessary on the roadway.

The other approaches, such as parking upright or parallel to the road, do not provide the same level of security and may present challenges in terms of stability and space management.
