Key Findings
The paper surveys previous studies showing that back-in parking in on-street locations is safer than head-in parking because when exiting the parking space (back-out) from head-in parking, the driver's field of view is more limited, thus increasing the chance of an accident. It then examines the safety paameters of back-in parking and the viewing considerations for drivers versus head-in and other types of parking.
