parking spaces

Lot grid rectangles

Parking spaces are designated areas for vehicles to stand when not in use.

A parking lot contains many parking spaces, typically marked by painted lines.

In urban areas, parking spaces are often scarce and contested: I circled the block three times looking for a parking space.

The term also applies to street parking, garage stalls, and reserved spots.
