I just passed 4 cars on my way to the car because I teach part-time at a University and they call have white letters on their windshield wipers because they're all parked back in. Mind you, these aren't even "angled" parking spots, just regular ones. The previous university I taught also had a rule like this as well (and I got a ticket for it as well even though I'm a professor). It makes no sense and I honestly feel bad for these guys. What's the practical reason for only allowing "head in" parking?

i always thought it was because people take too long trying to reverse and back up into it. keeps things flowing when the garage is filling up

I assume cause they think students are terrible at backing in and cause more problems even though with a rear view camera in modern cars that basically fixes that problem.

Because it's easier for parking enforcement to check the tags if the cars are all facing the same way

Wonder why metra paring doesnt give a shit. Though they have switched from using tags that hang on the rearview mirror or a number on the spot to taking the license instead, which is far easier I guess.

Its honestly what you said. It also disrupts the flow of traffic because these parking lots don't have much room

Okay, that makes sense, though I would figure having cars parked back in instead of head in would make their life easier.

I do parking enforcement and ours is now paperless so it doesn't matter which side you're facing
