Sorry this is wrong. A shroff is the counter where you pay a fee. In this case for parking. It is not the parking lot.

The term "parking lot" is also used by meeting facilitators. In brainstorming sessions or discussions when an important but tangential idea or topic is raised that is not directly related to the current topic, the tangential idea is stored for later use in a 'parking lot' - perhaps on a separate flip chart or as an agenda item for a future meeting. 144.15.115.165 14:59, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
I am going to write an article about parking lot striping, the business of painting and laying out parking lines Johnny--Bravo 18:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know what is the largest parking lot in north america, or the world?-- ttogreh 22:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
From a previous job, I came across the following info, not completely verified though...
More research is necessary. Doctorindy 21:49, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
can we please have a date for this claim?
"The first parking lot in the world was created in Fort Wayne, Indiana."
also a source would be nice. Coughinink 02:23, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Just from experience it seems that perpendicular parking is actually a lot more common, at least in the East Coast, and the Bay Area. Angled parking seems to be a niceity that is somewhat rare. Are there statistics for this? Of course it is entirely possible that for example all of the Midwest and South is filled with angled parking lots, and that it is the most common parking arrangement in China and India, but at least the claim that it is the most common arrangement seems suspect. -- JVittes 06:30, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Is there a technical or formal term among parking lot designers for the "wheel stops," the hard blocks which wheels rest against at the end of parking spaces, or are they just called wheel stops? Also, there should be information about wheel stops in this article. — Lowellian ( reply) 08:55, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay I am going to try and write this but I am not very good at writing this kind of thing so..... Help me out [1] Arkkeeper ( talk) 02:01, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Just wondering what rights the lot owner has to physically hold someone or his car for a payment problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.85.14.106 ( talk) 23:46, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
The picture says the parking lot only has one way traffic but the two moving cars are going in opposite directions. What's up with that? Lots42 ( talk) 11:01, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
Coming to this page I noticed that the lead had the page title after the 'alternative' term "car park":
This was done in an edit in Nov. 2013 [2] by an IP in UK. Summary said "Changed the order as every English speaking country but the USA uses "car park" ", so non NPOV too. It looked really odd, and I presume non WP:MOS, thus I reverted [3] so the 'US' English name (and page title) is first and the alternative 'British' English term next.
Surprising this wasn't noticed after 9 months! -- 220 of Borg 01:52, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
