Parking in an area where you won’t endanger other road users or cause an obstruction is essential for safe driving. Even if you have left the restricted area, it's important to make sure that your vehicle is parked in a way that does not impede traffic flow or put others at risk. Here are some tips to help ensure that your parking habits don't pose a danger on the roads:


1. Be aware of any signs indicating no-parking zones and obey them at all times. This includes areas near schools, hospitals and other places where vehicles can obstruct emergency services from accessing these locations quickly and easily when needed.


2. Make sure there is enough space between your car and any nearby objects such as trees, poles, curbs etc., so as not to block pathways or create visibility issues for drivers passing by; this also applies when leaving room for cyclists who may need access through narrow spaces on the side of the road due to their smaller size compared with cars/vans/trucks etc.


3. Ensure there are no dangerous items like glass bottles or sharp objects lying around which could puncture tyres should someone drive over them - particularly if they're hidden under leaves! It's always best practice (and courteous) to clean up before moving away from a spot too!


4. Be mindful of how close you park next to another vehicle - leave plenty of room so doors can be opened safely without hitting each other; this will also prevent accidents caused by people trying desperately hard squeezing into tight spots only to find out later they've damaged somebody else’s property whilst doing so.


5. Finally, double check whether parking restrictions apply during certain hours, e.g. night time limits might mean leaving earlier than planned; otherwise fines may incur – something nobody wants!
