Off-street parking refers to designated parking spaces that are not located on public streets. These spaces can be found in various locations, such as parking lots, garages, or driveways. Off-street parking helps reduce congestion on roadways and provides a safer environment for pedestrians. Many cities encourage off-street parking to improve urban planning and manage traffic flow. By providing ample off-street parking options, local governments aim to enhance accessibility to businesses and residential areas. This type of parking is often regulated by local laws and may require permits or fees for use.
