Whoa! You're allowed to double park outside a school over there?!

Wait, is double parking allowed anywhere?

Pretty common at airports; of course, the `parking` only lasts a few minutes at most.

It’s common but almost always illegal based on the posted signage.

Yes, please visit LA.
Edit: Not 'allowed' but people do it constantly. Regular drivers, delivery drivers, city workers, construction trucks, etc. There may be laws but very little enforcement.

People loitering in their cars waiting for a space to pick up their kid. So not actually parked.

More like standing, and quite common in a school zone.
I would not race at 17 MPH through such an area. Of course, Waymo will find a way to describe themselves as the heroes of this situation.
