Where to Park the Car at Night Without a Parking Space?
2 Answers
Without a parking space, it's best to rent one from a nearby resident not far from the main exit. Other suggestions: You can also look for parking lots or hotels at night, or find nearby units with parking spaces. If there's really no other option, you can park on the roadside in areas with surveillance. Blue parking spaces: Generally, blue parking spaces indicate free parking spots, usually planned around government office areas. White parking spaces: If it's a white parking space, it means this parking spot requires payment, typically set up along urban roadsides. Yellow parking spaces: If the parking space is yellow, it usually indicates a dedicated parking spot, or a leased space set up by relevant units upon application.
Parking in the city is indeed troublesome these days. I have to circle my neighborhood several times every evening after work. Without a fixed parking spot, the best option for overnight parking is to find official roadside overnight parking areas. Many urban roads offer free parking from 7 PM to 7 AM, but remember to check the posted signs to avoid overstaying. There are also government-designated tidal parking spaces outside our community, which become available after work hours. On weekends, I often scout nearby supermarket parking garages in advance—some shopping centers charge very low overnight rates, with monthly passes costing just over 200 yuan. The most hassle-free solution is sharing temporary parking spots with neighbors through WeChat groups—there's always someone with an unused space. But never park in fire lanes—last week, an ambulance was delayed in our building due to illegal parking.
