Parking - Auto

The video shows an area with roadside parking that is mostly asphalt with some gravel on the sides. It is a winter scene with small rocks strewn about the area and snow piles around the edges, providing evidence of plowing activity. Orange traffic cones line part of the right side, covering a large crack in the asphalt. Evenly spaced large rectangular stones surround a trash receptacle and a wooden structure on the left side. There are two standard portable toilets on the backside of the wooden structure. Past the restrooms on the left, there is a brown metal gate over a compact gravel path with a sign that reads, “Do Not Block Gate”. The sign and much of the gate is blocked by a large pile of snow at the time of the video. This path provides access to carriage roads. At the end of the parking area, the road becomes closed to motorized vehicles and is marked by a concrete barrier. Beyond the barrier, there is an asphalt path that is covered in snow at the time of the video.
