Background

………….Nowadays there is undisciplined parking in busy commercial districts; for instance, parking by the roadside and parking in front of the store or the store area. Many districts try to solve this problem by making regulations that the citizens can park only for a period of time; therefore, they must have a staff to check if someone breaks the rule. The stores by the roadside, they try to put something to block the parking lot such as traffic cones or chairs which is illegal and may cause the traffic jam. These problems make the drivers feel worried and awkward when they want to park near the roadside. Additionally, they have to drive around slowly for searching the parking lot, also it will cause traffic congestion.
