Parallel Parking
Five street levels of curbside parking, with the gap between the front and rear car shrinking each time.
City Parking
City Parking moves the action onto city blocks, with roads, curbs, sidewalks and street parking. Light traffic keeps moving along the road, and each of the four levels has a time limit.

How to Play
- Spot the bay, or follow the arrow at the screen edge if it is out of view.
- Drive along the road while keeping an eye on the traffic around you.
- Wait for a gap before pulling across or into a lane with moving cars.
- Slow down near the bay and line up with the curb.
- Park, stop and hold until Parking Complete! appears, all before the timer runs out.
Objective
Drive through the city block, avoid the moving traffic and park in the street bay before the time limit runs out. Curbs, parked cars and traffic cars all count as collisions.
Check the bay for a direction arrow, then park with all four corners inside, your heading within 12°, and hold still for about half a second.
Levels: Four city-block levels with roads, curbs, street parking and light moving traffic, each with a time limit.
Scoring
City Parking uses the standard level score: +500 for parking, accuracy × 3 (up to +300), +10 per second under par, and −100 per collision, whether you touch a curb, a parked car or a moving one. The score never drops below 0.
It is arcade scoring only, not a test of real city driving.

Tips for City Parking
- Traffic keeps moving along the road; a short pause to let it pass is cheaper than a 100-point collision.
- Street spaces sit between parked cars and the curb, so parallel parking technique helps: swing the rear in, then straighten.
- Watch the timer, but do not rush a park into moving traffic.
- Curbs count as collisions, so stop short of them rather than bumping to straighten up.
- Switch to the Overview camera to see where traffic is heading before you commit.

City Parking FAQ
Does hitting a moving car count as a collision?
Yes. Contact with a moving traffic car counts as a collision, costs 100 points and bounces your car back.
Is City Parking like Parallel Parking?
It includes curbside street parking, so parallel technique helps, but it also adds moving traffic and a time limit on a city block.
What happens if time runs out?
The level fails. Try Again restarts it and keeps your score from the levels you already completed.
