Are there any rules around parking on the wrong side of the street (e.g. facing the wrong direction)?

I don't know why but it makes me irrationally annoyed when I see people do this.

It's prohibited to parallel park facing the wrong way.

Also to reverse into angled parking.

Source: talked to the person writing the infringement notices.

Now that's interesting, didn't know about the reversing into angled parking either!

It's technically the same thing. You're exiting the car park facing the wrong way (or on the wrong side of the road).

Not half as enraging as people parking over the footpath.

Oh yeah 100%. Or those that think it's OK to block driveways, if it's just a "short while"

You must not park or stop your vehicle:

on the right-hand side of the road, except in a one-way street

In England I saw it all the time.
