What is the Difference Between a Parking Lot and a Parking Area?
1 Answers
Parking areas and parking lots differ in terms of whether long-term parking is allowed and their functional aspects. Regarding whether long-term parking is allowed: Parking lots are service areas built outside of highways where vehicles can park and rest for extended periods without affecting traffic safety; parking areas are temporary stopping points, such as temporary passenger pickup spots or emergency stops for malfunctioning vehicles, where long-term parking is not permitted. In terms of functional services: Parking lots offer more comprehensive services. Generally, they only provide fueling services without other amenities. Parking a car requires a parking space. A parking space refers to the area designated for parking, including both outdoor and indoor locations.
