How it works

From a crowded sign pole to one clear explanation.

Parky does more than read words. It works out how the visible restrictions fit together for the situation you show it.

  1. 01

    Photograph the signs

    Include every relevant sign on the pole.

  2. 02

    Show the context

    Capture arrows, dates, and the surrounding curb.

  3. 03

    Combine the rules

    Parky checks which visible rules apply together.

  4. 04

    Read the conclusion

    Get Yes, No, or Not sure, with an explanation in your language.

See the full process

Several rules. One conclusion.

Parking rules overlap. Parky sorts out which ones matter now.

Days, time windows, arrows, permits, and seasonal restrictions can all change the answer. The explanation shows the reasoning, not just the result.

Measured accuracy

Results with the context left in.

Benchmark numbers are useful only when they say what was tested. These figures measure final conclusions in scenarios with multiple visible rules.

Share of scenarios where Parky reached the correct final parking conclusion from visible rules in a 544-photo benchmark using signs from Canada, the U.S., the UK, and Australia.

Questions, answered

What to know before you use Parky.

Does Parky work worldwide?

Yes. Parky is designed to interpret visible parking signs worldwide. Local conditions and rules that are not visible in the photo may still affect whether you can park.

Which languages can it read?

Parky supports parking signs written in 85 languages.

Can the answer be in a different language from the sign?

Yes. Parky can interpret a supported sign language and explain the result in your own language.

Can Parky analyze several signs together?

Yes. Photograph the full sign stack so Parky can combine arrows, days, times, dates, permits, and overlapping visible rules.

Does Parky store uploaded photos?

No. Uploaded parking-sign images are not retained.

What does “Not sure” mean?

It means the visible information is incomplete, unclear, or ambiguous enough that Parky cannot give a confident Yes or No.

Can Parky guarantee I will not receive a ticket?

No. Parky interprets visible signs. You remain responsible for checking the curb, road markings, temporary notices, and current local conditions.

What should be included in the photo?

Include every sign on the pole, arrows, nearby notices, and enough surrounding context to show which side or parking space the signs apply to.

Does Parky detect restrictions outside the image?

No. A sign or condition outside the frame cannot be interpreted from the photo.

Where can I download the app?
