[QUOTE="spd67, post: 1607353, member: 9008"] yes very illegal....because if you back into an angled parking spot it could cause you to leave the spot in a wide arch.... also consider this: Section 11-1102 - Limitations on Backing No vehicle shall be backed upon any street or highway [COLOR="red"]except for such distance as may be necessary to permit the vehicle to enter the proper driving lane from a parked position[/COLOR]. Such backing shall be done only after the driver of said vehicle has ascertained that such movement can be made without endangering other traffic. So you can not back up on a roadway at all unless you are starting from park not moving to park and you would have to back up on the street to enter a angled parking spot. Also I would look at this as well for Oklahoma: Section 11-1004 - Additional Parking Regulations (a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, every vehicle stopped or parked upon a roadway where there are adjacent curbs shall be so stopped or parked with the right-hand wheels of such vehicle parallel to and within eighteen (18) inches of the right-hand curb. (b) Local authorities may by ordinance permit parking of vehicle with the left-hand wheels adjacent to and within eighteen (18) inches of the left-hand curb of a one-way roadway. [COLOR="red"](c) Local authorities may by ordinance permit angle parking on any roadway, except that angle parking shall not be permitted on any federal-aid or state highway unless the Department of Highways has determined that the roadway is of sufficient width to permit angle parking without interfering with the free movement of traffic.[/COLOR] (d) The Oklahoma Department of Highways with respect to highways under its jurisdiction may place signs prohibiting or restricting the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles on any highway where 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. Such signs shall be official signs and no person shall stop, stand or park any vehicle in violation of the restrictions stated on such signs. So the state as relegated the use of angled parking to municipality's and they can within reason make the ordinance the way they want for instance here is the way it reads in Stillwater: Sec. 29-134. - Obedience to angle-parking signs or markings. On those streets which have been so signed or marked for angle parking, no person shall park or stand a vehicle other than at the angle to the curb or edge of the roadway indicated by such signs or markings. [COLOR="red"]The front of such vehicle shall be parked facing the curb.[/COLOR] So it would not be hard for me to believe that it would be very different in Texas. Just because you don't know about a law doesn't mean it doesn't exist. [/QUOTE]
