How to Distinguish Parking Space Colors?
2 Answers
Parking space colors are distinguished as follows: 1. Introduction: White-line spaces are paid parking spaces, yellow-line spaces are reserved spaces, and blue-line spaces are free parking spaces. 2. Parking space markings: According to the national standard (GB5768.3-2009), the color of the markings for roadside parking spaces is standardized for differentiation. White-colored spaces indicate paid parking spaces, mostly located on sidewalks or setback lines, and are managed by traffic investment companies for parking fees. Yellow-colored spaces indicate reserved parking spaces, applicable to leased spaces or those set up by relevant units for office use or public convenience. Blue-colored spaces indicate free parking spaces, typically planned around government office premises.
As an ordinary person who drives frequently, I find the color-coded parking spaces very practical: blue spaces are reserved for the disabled, and parking there can result in a 200-yuan fine; green spaces are for electric vehicle charging, especially convenient when charging; pink spaces in some shopping malls are designated for women, enhancing safety. White usually represents regular parking spaces. These colors help with quick identification and prevent violations. New drivers should develop the habit of observing and paying attention to nearby signage. Nowadays, many apps also indicate the type of parking space, and the color system makes parking more orderly and reduces chaos. Rules vary slightly between cities—for example, yellow may be used for temporary loading/unloading zones with time restrictions. Understanding these has made parking much easier for me, saving time and respecting others.
