Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 621-222
in effectSec. 621-222. - Manner of parking in parking meter spaces.
(a) Parallel-to-curb parking shall be used in all parking meter spaces, and vehicles shall not be parked otherwise except where angle parking, as provided by section 621-108, or other manner of parking is specifically permitted by the Code.
(b) Where parallel-to-curb parking is required in a parking meter zone using one (1) meter per post, a vehicle shall be parked such that no part of the vehicle extends beyond a line perpendicular to the curb and even with any parking meter. In instances of an end parking space, where there is no such meter post, no part of the vehicle shall extend beyond a line perpendicular to the curb and even with an area not designated as a parking meter space.
(c) Where parallel-to-curb parking is required in a parking meter zone using two (2) meters per post, a vehicle shall be parked such that no part of the vehicle extends beyond a line perpendicular to the curb and even with any parking meter. Further, such vehicle shall be parked so that no part of the vehicle extends beyond a line perpendicular to the curb at the point half the distance to the next meter post. In instances of an end parking space, where there is no such meter post, no part of the vehicle shall extend beyond a line perpendicular to the curb and even with an area not designated as a parking meter space.
(d) Where parallel-to-curb parking is required in that area of a parking meter zone where there are no posts, a vehicle shall be parked:
(1) Such that no part of the vehicle extends beyond a line perpendicular to clear markings on the curb or as otherwise indicated; or
(2) Absent markings, wherever such vehicle may legally fit within such parking meter area.
(e) It shall be a violation of this Code to park a vehicle in a parking meter space in a manner not authorized in this section.
