Parking is considered the waiting of vehicles in specially designated or established and properly signalled spaces.

You are permitted the parking of your car on the sidewalk when in that area there are regulations in this regard, such as the situation in which the sign “Parking” is encountered, which has inscribed on it a car that has all wheels on the sidewalk, a situation in which the parking of vehicles is permitted in the respective area and the vehicle will be placed with all wheels on the sidewalk, having the obligation to respect the condition that the minimum width of the sidewalk left at the disposal of pedestrians must be at least one metre.
