parking bay

Marked vehicle space

A parking bay is a marked space for a single vehicle, typically in a parking lot or along a street.

The term is more common in British than American English, where parking space or parking spot predominates: The car park has fifty parking bays.

Bay suggests an enclosed or bounded area, like a bay in a building or coastline.
