The semi-circular spaces at the beginning and end of parking lanes often confuse motorists as they circle streets crowded with parked cars looking for a space. Often semicircles look perfectly dimensional and convenient to leave even a large car there and not interfere with anyone. But don’t rush to do it – that’s why
On car forums and just in the discussions of motorists, this question is often asked – is it possible to park in a semicircle or will they be fined for this, or even take the car with a “crocodile”?
The arguments of those who speak in favor are that the status of these markings is not specifically defined, so leaving the car on them cannot be considered a violation. Places that are prohibited from parking are marked with hatches, and if there are no hatches on the semicircle, you can park your car there. Sometimes you also come across advice that you have to pay to park on a semicircle and then it will supposedly be legalized.
In the SDA, semi-circular sections are described as a U-turn (for paid parking) and sections of turns, exits and exits from and into the local area (for on-street parking network) .
And that’s why they are always good for parking.
