Parking a vehicle means leaving it somewhere at the end of a journey or when the driver wants to stop for a while. Parking used to be easy many years ago when there were fewer cars on the road, but today it can sometimes be quite difficult to find somewhere to park a vehicle. In towns one often has to pay to park a vehicle. It is important to make sure that the vehicle is parked somewhere where parking is allowed, otherwise the driver may have to pay a fine, or even worse, the vehicle may be clamped.

Parking a car is easier than parking a large vehicle such as a lorry (truck) or a coach. These large vehicles often have to go to special parks. Rules about parking are part of traffic rules, and these will vary a lot from one country to another.

On the road.

Vehicles can often be parked at the side of the road, parallel to the kerb (the edge of the pavement or sidewalk). Sometimes there are no restrictions: one can park there, free, for as long as one likes. In other places parking may not be allowed at all (e.g. where there are double yellow lines (in Britain) or it may be allowed only for limited periods. Drivers may have to pay to park. Money can either be put in parking meters which are to be found by every parking bay, or there may be a machine nearby where the driver has to pay, and then he receives a ticket which he has to leave inside the car to show that he has paid. The time and date of arrival will be printed on the ticket.
