What is the difference between perpendicular and parallel parking spaces?

[AngeloFitz]

Perpendicular parking spaces and parallel parking spaces mainly differ in terms of parking convenience and space occupation. Parallel parking is more convenient but occupies a larger area, generally suitable for roadside parking. Perpendicular parking saves space but requires reversing when parking or driving, commonly used in indoor and outdoor parking lots. Below are some parking precautions: No parking in areas with no-parking signs: No-parking signs indicate that all vehicles are prohibited from parking temporarily or for an extended period within the designated area. No parking within yellow grid lines: Yellow grid lines indicate that parking is prohibited in this area for any reason, commonly seen at intersections, entrances, and exits. No parking on yellow solid lines: Roads with yellow solid lines prohibit parking. The length of the yellow solid line indicates the size of the no-parking area. No parking near bus stops: Parking is prohibited in areas such as bus stops, gas stations, emergency stations, fire hydrants, etc.
