I just moved my car in a double-parked spot for street cleaning. (This is tolerated by the DOT on my north Slope block.) I was across the street from a hydrant, though, so someone kindly left a message on my phone telling me that I would be ticketed – that double-parking is only allowed as a mirror image of what would be allowed on the side that is being cleaned.

I moved my car to be on the safe side, but I have never heard of this rule before. Since double-parking is technically illegal, the DOT website is of no use. Does anyone know the scoop?
