perpendicular parking
Straight-in car spots
Perpendicular parking is a style of parking where vehicles are positioned at a 90-degree angle to the curb or aisle, nose-in or backed in.
It's the standard arrangement in most parking lots, maximizing the number of spaces.
Contrast with parallel parking along a curb or angled parking at 45 or 60 degrees.
