parking barrier

Vehicle access controller

A parking barrier is a physical obstruction that controls vehicle access to a parking area.

These range from simple poles or chains to automated gates that rise and lower.

The term also covers devices placed in individual spaces to reserve them—metal posts or folding barriers that prevent others from parking there: Each resident has a key to lower their parking barrier.
