 We go back to the early 1920s and 30s in Oklahoma City. There was no regulated parking anywhere yet. People would just, you know, park their cars in the streets and left them there until they needed them again. In shopping areas, of course, most of the parking spaces were occupied by employees who worked downtown, leaving no room for potential customers. Traffic congestion problems were common in big cities back then. It was hurting business, and soon people started to think about a way to regulate the parking time.
