street parking

Parallel along curbs

Street parking is parking a vehicle along the side of a public road rather than in a lot, garage, or driveway.

Cities regulate it through meters, permits, and time limits: Street parking downtown is impossible after nine.

The phrase often implies inconvenience or scarcity: Good luck finding street parking near the stadium.
