overflow parking

Backup vehicle area

Overflow parking is the additional parking area used when the main lot reaches capacity.

Stadiums, hospitals, and event venues designate overflow lots for high-traffic times: We had to use the overflow parking across the street.

The term also applies to street parking or temporary arrangements when regular spaces fill up.
