parking attendants

Vehicle placement staff

Parking attendants are workers who manage vehicle parking.

In some settings, they take cars from drivers and park them—the valet service at hotels and restaurants.

In others, they monitor parking areas, collect fees, or enforce time limits.

British usage often means traffic wardens who issue tickets for violations: The parking attendant slapped a fine on my windshield.
