"A parking space, parking place or parking spot is a location that is designated for parking, either paved or unpaved."
Planning, designing and managing parking spaces for automobiles and bicycles, ensuring optimal parking availability and accessibility.
Parking compliance: This involves understanding the rules, laws, and regulations governing parking in a particular area, including zoning codes, building codes, and parking ordinances.
Parking demand analysis: This involves understanding how much parking is needed in a specific area and how much space is needed to accommodate the demand.
Parking supply: This involves understanding how much parking space is available in an area and looking for ways to increase it if there is a high demand for parking.
Parking capacity: This involves understanding how many cars can be accommodated in a parking space or garage, and the impact this may have on the design and building process.
Parking circulation: This involves understanding how vehicles move in and out of parking facilities, parking lot or garage.
Parking geometry: This involves understanding the dimensions and layout of parking spaces and the space required for ramps, aisles, and driveways.
Parking signage: This involves understanding the placement, size, and content of parking signs to ensure that the appropriate messages are conveyed to drivers.
Technology: This involves understanding the role of technology in parking operations, including the use of parking meters, payment systems and mobile parking apps.
Sustainability: This involves understanding the relationship between parking design and sustainability, including the use of green building materials, and designing for alternative modes of transportation such as bicycling or walking.
Security: This involves understanding the need for security features in parking facilities to protect both the vehicles and users, including lighting, surveillance, and access control.
Parking Demand Analysis: This is used to determine the public need for parking spaces in a particular area.
Site Assessment: This is used to determine the suitability of a particular site for a parking facility.
Parking Layout Design: This is used to design the layout of a parking lot or garage.
Code Compliance Review: This is used to ensure that the parking facility complies with the local zoning or building codes.
Access and Circulation Analysis: This is used to determine the best way for vehicles to access and navigate through the parking facility.
Parking Management Plan: This is used to develop a plan for managing parking resources, including pricing, enforcement, and signage.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Access: This is used to ensure that the parking facility is accessible to pedestrians and cyclists.
Sustainable Parking Design: This is used to design parking facilities that are environmentally sustainable and promote alternative transportation.
Parking Area Design Standards: This is used to establish standards for parking facility design and construction.
Parking Impact Analysis: This is used to assess the potential impact of a proposed parking facility on the surrounding community, including traffic congestion, noise, and air pollution.
"It can be in a parking garage, in a parking lot or on a city street."
"The space may be delineated by road surface markings."
"The automobile fits inside the space, either by parallel parking, perpendicular parking or angled parking."
"Whoever pulled in the tandem parking stall first is now technically in the back. The second car is now in the front since they have to leave first."
"Depending on the location of the parking space, the time allowed to park may be fixed by regulation."
"A fee may be required to use the parking space."
"It may be designated for free parking."
"When the demand for spaces outstrips supply, vehicles may overspill park onto the sidewalk, grass verges, and other places which were not designed for the purpose."
