pysäköintipaikoille

Pysäköintipaikoille is a Finnish directional phrase meaning “to the parking spaces.” It is formed from pysäköintipaikka (parking space) in its plural form pysäköintipaikat, combined with the allative suffix -ille, which marks direction toward a place. The expression is used to indicate the destination of movement or the location of parking facilities.

The term is commonly found in signage, maps, and official documents related to traffic, urban planning, and municipal communications. It indicates that a route or instruction leads toward a parking area rather than to a specific individual space. In signage, it may appear alone or as part of a sentence or sign line, for example indicating direction toward parking facilities or as a directive such as “Käänny pysäköintipaikoille.”

Context and related usage: pysäköintipaikoille is contrasted with other Finnish forms such as pysäköintipaikka (a single parking space) or pysäköintialue (a parking area). The phrase is part of the broader vocabulary describing parking and traffic management and is typical in discussions of urban infrastructure, road signs, and public messaging about where parking is available.
