public parking
Sites for leaving or storing personal motor vehicles, which are open to any user.
Public parking places are areas where any driver can leave a car or personal vehicle. It includes places which charge a fee, but not places restricted to tenants or customers of a related place.
Charging a fee is allowed. Public availability concerns who may park, not whether parking is free.
Customer parking and visitor parking are tied to an associated destination. Those restrictions exclude them from unrestricted public parking.
