When you park along the road, how far may your car be from the curb?
The rule
When you park along the road, keep as far from traffic as you can: your wheels may be at most 18 inches from the curb or the pavement's edge.
Park as far from traffic as you can. Stay within 18 inches of the curb or the pavement's edge.
From the SCDMV Driver's License Manual, page 7-11. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
