stallingplaats

Stallingplaats is a designated location where a vehicle or other asset can be stationed, parked, or stored. The term is commonly used in Dutch contexts to describe a parking space for motor vehicles as part of streets, parking lots, or garages, but it can also refer to dedicated storage space for caravans, trailers, boats, or rolling stock in depots and storage yards.

Types and settings include on-street stallingplaatsen, which are often part of municipal parking policy and may be subject to time limits, permits, or paid tariffs. Off-street stallingplaatsen encompass private parking lots, apartment complexes, business premises, or public car parks, with spots identified by markings. In storage contexts, stallingplaatsen are yards or facilities where equipment or vehicles are kept when not in use, sometimes with security, fencing, lighting, and basic utilities.

Regulation and management are typically handled by local authorities or private operators. Allocation and use are governed by municipal ordinances, parking regulations, and rental or lease agreements for commercial facilities. Access may require permits, reservation systems, or payment. Standards often cover space dimensions and manoeuvrability to accommodate different vehicle types, as well as accessibility considerations for disabled users.

Other uses of the term appear in logistics and industry, where stallingplaatsen refer to stabling points for rolling stock, containers, or equipment within rail yards or terminal facilities. Overall, a stallingplaats denotes a legally recognized area designated for the temporary or long-term keeping and positioning of vehicles or equipment.
