parking lot

A parking lot is an area designated for parking vehicles, typically surfaced with asphalt, concrete, or gravel. It features marked spaces to organize vehicles efficiently and often includes entry and exit points, lighting, and signage for safety and convenience. Parking lots serve commercial, residential, or public purposes, providing a designated area where people can temporarily leave their cars while they attend to other activities. Properly designed parking lots help maximize space, ensure orderly traffic flow, and improve safety for both drivers and pedestrians.
