The maximum distance you may park from the curb is 6 inches or less. This guideline is established to ensure that parked vehicles do not obstruct traffic lanes or create hazards for other road users, including pedestrians. When a vehicle is parked too far from the curb, it can pose risks by narrowing the roadway and potentially leading to collisions with passing vehicles. Furthermore, maintaining a close distance to the curb helps keep the flow of traffic smooth and minimizes the likelihood of accidents. Adhering to this rule is essential for safe and responsible driving practices in New Jersey.
