0 the act of parking a vehicle along or parallel to the side of the road, rather than facing into the side of the road
Parallel parking is the most common mode of streetside parking for cars.
Historically, metered parallel parking had individual meters for each parking spot with spots clearly marked on the road.
The reverse parking procedure is virtually identical to the parallel parking procedure.
The automobile fits inside the space, either by parallel parking, perpendicular parking or angled parking.
Self-parking cars currently on the market are not completely autonomous, but they do make parallel parking much easier.
Parallel parking spaces are typically cited as being approximately 2.76 m wide by 6.1 m long.
This type of car parking is more scalable than parallel parking and is therefore commonly used in car parking lots and car parking structures.
Vehicles may be packed up to five vehicles deep in combinations of perpendicular and/or parallel parking with limited circulation aisles for the parking attendant.
