Parkimiskoha

Parkimiskoha is a designated place where a vehicle may be parked. It can be located along public streets or within parking facilities and is typically marked with painted lines and signage to indicate the permitted area and any restrictions.

On-street parkimiskohad are spaces alongside roads and are often subject to time limits or paid parking. Off-street parkimiskohad exist in parking lots, garages, or other facilities and may be privately managed or municipally operated. Parking rules, payment requirements, and duration limits may vary by location.

Dimensions and markings vary by jurisdiction, but a typical car parking space is about 2.4 meters wide and 4.5–5.0 meters long. Spaces for people with disabilities are wider and located closer to entrances; appropriate signage is required. Parkimiskohad are marked with white lines and relevant signs, and certain bays may be reserved for specific uses, such as electric vehicle charging points or loading zones.

Regulation and enforcement are typically handled by local authorities or property managers. Rules cover who may park, how long, where payment is required, and when spaces are limited or prohibited. Violations can result in fines, towing, or immobilization, especially for obstructing driveways, fire lanes, or disabled spaces. Residents may obtain parking permits for particular areas, subject to local policies.

Design and access considerations focus on safety, accessibility, and efficiency. Layout, lighting, curb ramps, and sightlines affect usability, while modern systems may use meters, mobile payments, or enforcement cameras to manage parkimiskoha use.
