A parking meter is an automated machine that issues a limited-duration parking permit, usually in exchange for payment (coins and/or bank cards and other magnetic cards). The transaction, which was most often recorded by a ticket placed behind the windshield, is increasingly being digitized through the entry of the vehicle registration number on the machine's keypad. A parking meter typically serves an area with around twenty parking spaces. See also Parking Meter .
