meter parking

Coin-fed spot regulator

Meter parking is parking a vehicle at a space controlled by a coin-operated or electronic meter that measures time.

The meter displays how long you've paid for; overstaying risks a ticket.

I found meter parking on the street instead of using the garage.

The phrase distinguishes metered spots from free parking, lots, or garages.
