Parking Meters

Parking meters are devices installed on streets or in parking lots that require drivers to pay for the time they park their vehicles. These meters typically accept coins, cards, or mobile payments and are programmed to limit parking duration, helping manage vehicle turnover and reduce congestion. Users must display a receipt or keep their parking session active to avoid fines. Parking meters are often used in busy urban areas to ensure that parking spaces are available for short-term visitors while generating revenue for local governments.
