"Local government will look at the amount of parking they require, look at the times, the ability of the different demographics and the people moving in and out of the town or city. "Unfortunately we have some motorists for whatever reason that choose to hog the entire lane, position themselves to do a nice comfortable manoeuvre and this can obviously hold up our traffic flow. "It's not just NSW; it's actually prevalent Australia wide," he said, adding that some city suburbs had also introduced angle parking for smaller cars.Chief executive of industry body, Parking Australia, Lorraine Duffy, said it was up to the council in each town or city to determine the type of parking. "Some people have major problems with their geometry as far as their angles are concerned," said Tablelands Road Safety Officer, Iris Dorsett. Eventually, the operation ends after around 2 minutes, when either the driver gives up or the car gets parked but sticks out of the row by a mile.Most cars can now be equipped with optional parking assist systems to spare beginner drivers of this “hell-spawned ordeal”, but until the gizmo will eventually get standardized on all vehicles, everyone must know how to quickly and correctly parallel park their cars.This enables Disqus, Inc. to process some of your data. If you're just learning to drive, you might find this basic driving skill difficult. "In the regional areas they had more accessible carriageway widths to implement that, as opposed to the city areas," Mr Moses said.Mr Moses said certain rules about width and spacing applied.

"I talk a lot at some senior groups and they always ask the question 'When I reverse park, who has to give way to me?'" Test your general knowledge "For instance towbars can be a trip hazard [and the rear end of vehicles] can also collide with trees, street furniture and poles but appropriate signage can mitigate those problem," Mr Moses explained.Angled parking typically is done at 30, 45, 60 or 90 degrees to the kerb.Generally if there are no signs, angled parking should be at 45 degrees.The Australian Standard for On-street parking spells out how each different arrangement should be laid out and the road widths required for each type.It lists 90 degrees as the angle that provides the most number of car parking spots, however the greater the angle, the greater the road width needed.The document says "all forms of angle parking present a greater hazard to road users than parallel parking" and the use of angle parking "may need to be considered in conjunction with other measures designed to lesson the adverse effects".The regional city of Bathurst is one city that has 45 degree reverse angle parking on many of its streets, but people do not always get it right. Parking your car on a 45-degree angle is easier than parallel, curb or 90-degree angle parking, and is the first style of parking you need to master before moving onto more difficult parking maneuvers. Constructing a 45 degree angle can be done by first constructing a 90 degree angle and then bisecting this 90 degree angle. "All these things are restricted by a particular Australian standard which may not be applicable for some city roads that need two or three lanes so they can only accommodate parallel parking," he said.He added that western NSW was not alone in having reverse angle parking. "The law actually is that if you are the person undertaking the parking manoeuvre … you do not have right of way; the oncoming traffic has right of way and you should wait until it's clear to do your reverse park," she said. The Australian Standard for On-street parking spells out how each different arrangement should be laid out and the road widths required for each type. "Andrew Beart is a retiree living in central Melbourne who volunteers several days a week.He regularly travels to country NSW where he noticed a lot of reverse angle parking and wondered why so many towns had it. "Reverse angle parking sometimes causes frustration and confusion. "Coming from Victoria, to me it's not natural to be backing into the kerb and I really want to know why I see it everywhere in western NSW," Mr Beart said.Advocates of reverse angle parking say it is a sensible and safe system, but it is not without its critics and confusion.The reason there is reverse angle parking in so many regional areas is tied up in the history of Australian road development, which has meant Parking expert, Michael Moses, from the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) said, traditionally, parking was the same in the cities as in the country and in the "horse and cart days they'd pull up at the kerb in a parallel fashion".However he said as time went on and space became scarcer, angle parking became an option in order to maximise capacity of kerbside parking spots.
