[QUOTE="dru, post: 1607337, member: 3047"] LOL he seriously looked like a skinny version of Walter from the Big Lebowski. Except he had a more scraggly beard than Jon LeJoie there This was the only applicable section I could find as well. It reads thus: [B](a) An operator who stops or parks on a two-way roadway shall do so with the right-hand wheels of the vehicle parallel to and within 18 inches of the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway. (b) An operator who stops or parks on a one-way roadway shall stop or park the vehicle parallel to the curb or edge of the roadway in the direction of authorized traffic movement with the right-hand wheels within 18 inches of the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway or the left-hand wheels within 18 inches of the left-hand curb or edge of the roadway. This subsection does not apply where a local ordinance otherwise regulates stopping or parking on the one-way roadway. (c) A local authority by ordinance may permit angle parking on a roadway. This subsection does not apply to a federal-aid or state highway unless the director of the Texas Department of Transportation determines that the roadway is wide enough to permit angle parking without interfering with the free movement of traffic. (d) The Texas Department of Transportation, on a highway under the jurisdiction of that department, may place signs prohibiting or restricting the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle on the highway where the director of the Texas Department of Transportation determines that stopping, standing, or parking is dangerous to, or would unduly interfere with, the free movement of traffic on the highway. (e) To the extent of any conflict between Subsection (a) or (b) and a municipal ordinance adopted under Section 545.302(g), the ordinance controls. [/B] Sections A & B don't apply to me since those appear to specifically relate to parallel parking along a roadway. Section C does apply to me only insofar as the City obviously permits it because there were marked spaces there. However, section C says nothing about parking with or against the flow of traffic. And so far I haven't been able to find anything in the Temple ordinances but my search fu could just be really weak. Honestly i wanted to tell him to get bent but just decided it wasn't worth the trouble. Maybe he took offense to my OU t-shirt and decided he wanted to give me a hard time. either that or he was mad because I was fat. those are honestly the only two other reasons I can think of that would have caused him to act like that. And to be clear, if it was illegal and he was telling me about it, my ego probably would have been stung a little but no biggie. What got me was the attitude he came across with...it was literally "that parking is illegal and you [B]will[/B] move it or I will have it ticketed" (emphasis his) Just seemed overboard for the situation [/QUOTE]
