curbside parking

Parallel along roads

Curbside parking is parking a vehicle along the edge of a street, beside the curb, rather than in a lot or garage.

Most urban street parking is curbside: There's curbside parking on Main Street, but it's metered.

The term distinguishes on-street spots from off-street alternatives.
