B11 parking-lot road position: what ICBC is checking
ICBC expects you to position the vehicle in a parking lot so you are visible, obey posted signs and instructions, and leave room for other road users.
ICBC B11 Road Position in Parking Lots for North Vancouver Learners
This video explains ICBC's B11 road-position expectation in parking lots: stay visible, obey signs, leave room for other road users, and drive parking-lot aisles with the same care you use on the road. For North Vancouver learners, the key habits are avoiding shortcuts, staying on the right side of two-way aisles, checking junctions, signalling clearly, and doing full 360 checks before reversing.
Watch the ICBC B11 parking-lot road-position video
The video explains how to leave parking stalls, treat aisles as two-way roads, avoid shortcut turns, signal intentions, and check properly before reversing.

Key parking-lot road-position habits from the video
Use these sections as a quick study guide before practising parking-lot exits, aisle positioning, left turns, junction checks, and reversing observation.
When leaving a stall, do not shortcut across the aisle
After leaving a stall, imagine where the centre divide would be in the parking-lot aisle and steer back to your side. Do not cut diagonally to the exit just because it is where you want to go.
Check parking-lot junctions carefully
Parking-lot junctions still have conflict points. If you are in the wrong position, an approaching driver may not understand your path, and you may not see where threats are coming from.
Treat parking-lot aisles as two-way unless marked otherwise
Unless signs or markings clearly say the aisle is one-way, treat it like a two-way road. Drive on the right side and leave space for vehicles coming toward you.
Make real left turns, not parking-lot shortcuts
A left turn means going farther forward first, then turning. Cutting straight across a junction is unpredictable and creates confusion, especially in parking lots.
Signal, 360 check, and look where the car is travelling
Always signal your intention, even when the manoeuvre feels obvious. Before backing up, complete a 360 check and look out the rear window; the rear-view mirror is not enough.
