California. Los Angeles County. Parling on the wrong side of the street:

Q: Is it illegal to park on the wrong side of the street on a short (20 yards long), cul-de-sac with no houses other than my own? I live in a rural area surrounded by vacant lots except for my house.

Illegal. The problem here is that in order to park on the wrong side, you have to have driven on the wrong side.... and that is illegal.

California Vehicle Code:
22502. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter every vehicle stopped or parked upon a roadway where there are adjacent curbs shall be stopped or parked with the right-hand wheels of such vehicle parallel with and within 18 inches of the right-hand curb, except that motorcycles shall be parked with at least one wheel or fender touching the right-hand curb. Where no curbs or barriers bound any two-way roadway, right-hand parallel parking is required unless otherwise indicated.
