A parking lot is a designated area where vehicles can be parked. These spaces are usually found near buildings, shopping centers, and public places, making it convenient for people to leave their cars while they go about their activities. Parking lots can vary in size, from small lots with just a few spaces to large ones that can accommodate hundreds of vehicles. In many cities, parking lots are often marked with lines to show where each car should go. Some parking lots are free, while others may require a fee or a parking pass. They can also have special areas for disabled individuals or electric vehicles that need charging.
