A. Except as otherwise provided in this section, every vehicle stopped or parked upon a two-way roadway shall be so stopped or parked with the right-hand wheels parallel to and within 12 inches of the right-hand curb or as close as practicable to the right edge of the right-hand shoulder.

B. Except when otherwise provided by local ordinance, every vehicle stopped or parked upon a one-way roadway shall be so stopped or parked parallel to the curb or edge of the roadway, in the direction of authorized traffic movement, with its right-hand wheels within 12 inches of the right-hand curb or as close as practicable to the right edge of the right-hand shoulder, or with its left-hand curb or as close as is practicable to the left edge of the left-hand shoulder.

C. Local authorities may by ordinance or resolution permit angle parking on any roadway, except that angle parking shall not be permitted on any federal-aid or state highway unless the State Highway Commission has determined by resolution or order that the roadway is of sufficient width to permit angle parking without interfering with the free movement of traffic.

D. The State Highway Commission with respect to highways under its jurisdiction may place official traffic control devices prohibiting, limiting, or restricting the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles on any highway where in its opinion, as evidenced by resolution or order, such stopping, standing, or parking is dangerous to those using the highway or where the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles would unduly interfere with the free movement of traffic thereon. No person shall stop, stand, or park any vehicle in violation of the restrictions indicated by such devices.

E. No person shall park a vehicle in any designated parking space, whether parallel, angled or otherwise, during the restricted or regulated time applicable to the parking zone in which such space is located so that any part of such vehicle occupies more than one such space or protrudes behind the markings designating such space, except that a vehicle which is of a size too large to be parked within a single designated parking space shall be permitted to occupy two adjoining parking spaces as long as it is parked in the center of both spaces.
