Not if you consider that roads are to be marked down their center line
and typically the parking area ends to the outside of the center line
of the road demarking their boundary.

I have recently corrected several areas I have traced in my area
because I had drawn them with their boundary along the center line of
the road they abut.   While they do indeed go right up to the
sidewalk/road bounding them, they don't extend to the centerline of
the road.
