What does P mean in the parking lot?

This is the acronym of parking lot English, which means parking lot.

If it's a P on the road, that's where parking is allowed.

Ordinary road stop sign

First of all, the most common road parking lot is generally located on a small road. When parking a motor vehicle in the road parking lot, you should first look for the P card. The parking time will be indicated on the P card, such as "8: 00 on weekdays-7:00 the next day, all day on Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays", and the charging standard for motor vehicle parking will also be indicated on the P card.

It should also be noted that vehicles must be parked in the sentry box marked with white lines, and don't blindly see other vehicles parked before parking.

Such parking spaces are generally located around residential areas with serious parking gaps or around commercial outlets with particularly large parking needs. It should be noted that some road parking lots around residential areas are only used for parking at night, so drivers must pay attention to the time marked on the P card. If parking is not allowed, they will be punished.
