Q: Is it illegal to park facing traffic in sc
A:
Yes, SC Code Section SECTION 56-5-2560 provides:
Parking at right-hand curb not more than 18 inches from curb.
Except as otherwise provided in Sections 56-5-2540 and 56-5-2550, every vehicle stopped or parked upon a roadway where there are adjacent curbs shall be so stopped or parked with the right-hand wheels of such vehicle parallel to and within eighteen inches of the right-hand curb.
Therefore, yes it would be unlawful to face traffic while parked because your left-hand wheels would be against the curb rather than your right-hand wheels.
