parkimiskäigud

Parkimiskäigud refers to the maneuvers a vehicle performs to enter or exit a parking space. These movements are essential for drivers to safely and efficiently position their vehicles. The most common parking maneuvers include parallel parking, perpendicular parking, and angle parking.

Parallel parking involves parking a vehicle in a line of vehicles parked parallel to the curb. This maneuver typically requires a series of forward and backward movements, using the steering wheel to guide the car into the available space. It is often considered one of the more challenging parking maneuvers for new drivers.

Perpendicular parking, also known as right-angle parking, is when a vehicle is parked at a 90-degree angle to the curb or parking bay. This can be done by driving forward into the space or reversing into it. Reversing into a perpendicular space is often recommended as it allows for better visibility when exiting.

Angle parking involves parking the vehicle at an acute angle to the curb or parking bay. Similar to perpendicular parking, vehicles can enter angle parking spaces either by driving forward or reversing. This type of parking is common in some parking lots and on certain streets due to its ease of entry and exit.

The execution of parkimiskäigud relies on spatial awareness, control of the vehicle's steering and speed, and an understanding of the vehicle's dimensions. Modern vehicles are increasingly equipped with parking assistance systems, such as rearview cameras and parking sensors, to aid drivers in performing these maneuvers more easily and safely.
