parking lots

Striped vehicle fields

Parking lots are paved outdoor areas designated for parking vehicles.

The British equivalent is car park.

A parking lot may be a standalone surface or the uncovered levels of a parking structure.

Figuratively, traffic-clogged highways become parking lots: The freeway was a parking lot by rush hour.
