A national study of curb-parking accidents was completed far the FHWA in 1978, with a TRB summary in 1979. Other TRB papers on curb parking have been published. Safety studies in small cities have included parking-accident findings. This feature, the second in a series on parking, summarizes data from the FHWA project, other unpublished and published studies from the 1970s through 1991 and from two 2001 studies in Arizona. Current findings substantiate earlier work. When curb parking is allowed, parallel Is much safer than angle on a mileage basis for local collector and major routes and ...
