Off Street Parking
When parking facility is provided at a separate place away from the kerb, it is known as off street parking. The main advantage of this method is that there is no undue congestion and delay on the road as in kerb parking. But the main draw back is some of the owners will have to walk a greater distance after parking the vehicle. It is also not possible to provide the off street parking facility at very close intervals especially in business centres of a city. Two basic types of off street parking facilities are surface parking lots and multi floor parking garages

Parking lots may be convenient where sufficient space is available at comparatively low cost. The parking of vehicles may be done by owners or drivers of the cars and then this is called self parking system. If the vehicle is left by the owner at the entrance space and again collected from there, the parking and delivering operations being carried out by attendants, it is called attendant parking system. Most important advantage of attendant parking is less space required to store and manoeuvre the same number of cars
