Parking is the act of stopping a vehicle, exiting it, and leaving the vehicle unoccupied for more than a brief time. It is against the law virtually everywhere to park a vehicle in the middle of a highway or road. In all countries where motor vehicles are in common use, specialized parking facilities are routinely constructed in combination with most structures to facilitate the coming and going of the structures' users.

Parking facilities include indoor and outdoor private property belonging to a house, the side of the road, a parking lot or car park, and indoor and outdoor multi-level structures.

In the U.S., after the first public parking garage was opened in Boston, May 24, 1898, livery stables in urban centers began to be converted into garages. In cities of the Eastern US, many former livery stables, with lifts for carriages, continue to operate as garages today.

The following terms exemplify regional variations in language. All except ''carport'' refer to outdoor multi-level parking facilities. In some regional dialects, some of these phrases refer also to indoor or single-level facilities.




*''Parking ramp'' (used in some parts of the upper Midwest, especially Minneapolis, but sometimes seen as far east as Toledo, Ohio). In Minneapolis, this term ''never'' refers to an indoor facility; that would be called a ''parking garage''.
*''Multi-storey car park'' (England)
*''Parkade'' (Canada, South Africa)
*''Parking structure'' (Western U.S.)
*''Parking garage'' (Eastern USA, where this term refuses to distinguish between outdoor multi-level parking facilities and indoor parking facilities; to a Minneapolitan this term emphatically says indoor parking facility; to a Bostonian it does not.)
*''Parking deck'' (Sighted in both New Jersey and North Carolina.)
*''Carport'' (open-air covered parking)

The strip of grass between the street and sidewalk, not owned by the property owner. I believe the usage of this word is limited to large cities in the Midwest.

PARKING!!!

It's the new planking.

Created on the 15th of May 2011 by Jake Hurwitz the art of Parking is to park in the closest parking space (excluding Pram and Disabled spaces) to the door resulting in the shortest walking distance to your destination. Once the park has been successfully obtained photographic evidence must be taken and the photo is to be uploaded....but remember this, if you come at the King you best be ready.
