3 questions on Georgia’s own parking rules

Parking rules that hold in every state
A sample of the national parking bank. All 10 are in the practice run, combined with the Georgia items above for 13 questions in total.
1. Parking on the left side of a two-way street facing oncoming traffic is:
- AAllowed if the space is empty
- Generally prohibited
- CRequired at night
- DPermitted for deliveries only
Answer: Generally prohibited. It puts the vehicle on the wrong side of the road, and pulling out requires crossing into oncoming traffic.

2. If your vehicle breaks down, you should move it:
- As far off the roadway as possible
- BOnto the centre line
- CInto the opposing lane
- DInto the nearest travel lane
Answer: As far off the roadway as possible. A vehicle left in a travel lane is a serious hazard. Get it clear of traffic, then use hazard lights and warning devices.

3. When parking facing uphill where there is no curb, turn your front wheels:
- Toward the shoulder or edge of the road
- BStraight ahead
- CFully to the left
- DToward the centre of the road
Answer: Toward the shoulder or edge of the road. With no curb to catch the tire, pointing the wheels at the shoulder means a rolling vehicle leaves the traffic lane.
