Sometimes there is a sign saying "front in parking only" and I get it for angled parking spots but why would a sign like this ever exist for normal spots? (self.asklemmy)

Regaurdless, safe drivers always park so they drive out. you have much better visibility driving out than backing out which means you are less likely to run over something you didn't see. By backing in you had to drive past and thus had time to verify nothing was there.

Safe drivers are just that, no matter how they park. If your visibility is bad when you park front in, then either you're hauling something that's blocking your line of sight (in which case it would make sense), or your vehicle has terrible visibility, which is far too many of them.

Park how you want to park. I've never had a problem backing out of a space.

Or, you know, you have two vehicles parked on either side of you. Bonus points if they're two fullsize trucks/SUVs while you're in a sedan.
