Can I park here?
Take a photo of the parking sign. We read it and tell you whether you can park now, and until when.
1. Photo of the sign
Stand close, hold the phone level, and fill the picture with the sign. If a pole has several signs, take one photo of each.
Your photo is read on this device. It is not uploaded to ParkingSpaces.com or anywhere else. The first time, your phone downloads the reader (about 25 MB), then keeps it.
This browser cannot read photos. You can still type the words from the sign below.
What the sign says
2. Check the words (and fix any mistakes)
This is the text we read from the photo. Fix any mistakes, or type the sign yourself. Put a blank line between separate signs.
Leave it empty to check right now. Pick a time to see if you could park then.
This tool reads the words on a sign and does its best, but it can misread a sign, miss a symbol or arrow, and does not check holidays or special events. Posted signs, meters and enforcement officers always control. See our Disclaimer, Terms and Privacy Policy.
