wheel stops

Concrete parking barriers

Wheel stops are low barriers, typically concrete or rubber, placed at the front of parking spaces to prevent vehicles from rolling too far forward.

They protect walls, sidewalks, and pedestrians from encroaching bumpers: I pulled in until my tires hit the wheel stop.

Also called parking blocks or curb stops.
