The Short Trip Across Town
Where the car may stand, what the light is telling you, and the two small vehicles in the bike lane
You park outside the pharmacy. The curb is tight, there is a hydrant behind you and a crossing in front, and the only clear space is the one with the wheelchair symbol painted in it.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
The rest of the parking list, arrow and pedestrian signals, camera enforcement, titling and registration for low speed and under speed vehicles, electric bicycles, which are their own page, and every local ordinance that adds to any of this are not walked here. Nothing on this page says whether a particular citation was good or what a particular street allows.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
