The driver of a vehicle intending to park at the curb of any street at a place about to be vacated by another vehicle shall stop back of that parking space and wait until the vehicle has vacated the parking space. The driver of a vehicle to park in an open parking space shall move his or her vehicle to a place immediately in front of the parking space and back into it, and the driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall yield the right of way to that person for the purpose of parking at this parking space. In case there is no one in position immediately in front of the parking space and it is large enough to permit it, the driver of an approaching vehicle may head into the parking space without backing.
