Digital Pay Stations

Pay-By-Space Parking

This type of parking system uses numbers assigned to each parking space, usually on a metal plate on the wall or marked on the ground. When you park your vehicle, note the space number, then proceed to a station and purchase the amount of time you need. Signs will designate where the pay-by-space system is in effect.
