MUTCD should have something on coloring of Informational Signs which is what these and Hospital and Mass Transit signs are. But as far as I can recall I've not seen anything but White on Blue around here for any of them.

Once this is approved, can Waze create a shield of the P with a circle around it colored green? In the US, that is our universal parking lot sign. When it typed as [P], that would create a green P circled. What do other countries use as their universal sign?

Ok, start the jokes about green P.

On this one I'd just be happy with a standard shield and think we would have no issue using the white on blue. While the Green mentioned above is common on signage in some parts of the country it's not universal and I have seen the white on blue and other random color combo's to indicate public parking.

Personally I like the look of the White P on the blue square, it's crisp, clean and not likely to be mistaken for a road shield. And it's not that different from the White H on Blue for Hospital which is a nationwide standard and the White Bus or Train on blue that you commonly see for bus, trolley or train stops/stations.

Is that a cue (geddit?) for a pee joke?

Good idea. I like it. An alternative label could be [P] to help it stand out.

I would suggest, however, only using this for public carparks (run by the council or NCP or whatever), rather than all customer carparks at supermarkets and other businesses. This will help tourists who are looking for places to park.

Nice idea. And Tim, I was just about to write something along those lines too!

Blue square with white 'P'

Perhaps they can expand the new Gas Station feature to Parking. So if you look for parking, you can see what's available near you and the cost. I'm not sure if there is an app that can do that now.

With car park's name will benefit somehow.

I prefer the first example:

or just [P] in case there is no name for the car park.

Should we put this in the wiki once there is no objection?
