Like other things, it can also have several disadvantages too. Here are some things you may experience when you park on the street.

• Unfortunately, street parking is often times metered. It will cost you some money and you have to work with a time limit. That can be really inconvenient and frustrating when you have somewhere to be and you have to go feed the meter.

• You may need to do some parallel parking. Remember, you’re not the only one who has to find a park on the street – other people are going to park and put you in the position of having to do a little maneuvering into a spot. Sigh…be careful not to bump into a fender or a trunk while you’re at it.

• Be careful not to get bumped into. Being parked on the street heightens the risk of your vehicle getting knocked up by a vehicle that’s trying to pull in at the front or at the rear of you. You never know when a vehicle may collide with the side of your car either.

• High curbs, poles or fire hydrants may leave ugly scrapes on your passenger door if your passenger isn’t careful when opening. You should probably give them a little heads up.

• Parking on the curb probably means that you’re not directly in front of your destination. This can be inconvenient for those who are carrying load or who are late for a specific event.
