parking lane

Street-edge vehicle zone

A parking lane is the portion of a street designated for parked vehicles, typically running along the curb.

In cities, parking lanes may convert to travel lanes during rush hour or become restricted zones at certain times: The sign said the parking lane becomes a no-stopping zone after 4 PM.

Distinguished from travel lanes, which are for moving traffic.
