Parking refers to the act of stopping and leaving a vehicle in a designated area. This can occur in various locations, such as parking lots, garages, or on the street. Parking spaces are often marked with lines to indicate where vehicles should be positioned, and some areas may have specific rules regarding time limits or payment. Different types of parking include parallel parking, where a vehicle is parked alongside the curb, and angled parking, which allows cars to be parked at an angle to the road. Parking meters may be used in some areas to collect fees for parking, while residential parking permits can help manage parking in neighborhoods.
