Parking Parking is another constant problem, especially in big cities. Commercial parking lots and garages can be expensive in cities, and free parking may be difficult or impossible to find. Parking meters are everywhere in the United States, though even areas with meters may have some hours in which parking is forbidden. Localities make money by giving tickets to illegally parked cars. They may even tow your car away if it is not properly parked.
Some localities immobilize the car with a wheel lock.
Others place huge stickers on the windows. Regulations and Rules. It is not easy to understand parking regulations. Every city, town and village has different rules and regulations. Streets should have signs hanging on poles which indicate exactly when cars may park on them, but they won't always.
