Not as cool as finding a street spot in a neighborhood but I recently visited family in Columbus, OH where they had a parking garage that helped you find a spot.  This was a very popular shopping area when the weather is nice and can be a madhouse finding a parking spot.<p>Prior to entering the garage: XX spots available sign<p>Upon entering the garage: X spots level 1, Y spots level 2, Z spots level 3, etc<p>Upon picking the floor of your choice: Signs above each row with # of spots available.<p>So essentially I drove to a floor with a decent amount of spots available then was guided to a row with 3 spots left and parked easily and efficiently, no more mindlessly driving up and down lanes&#x2F;floors adding to congestion.  I tried to find the company in charge of the tech but the wife had more pressing matters to attend :)<p>I&#x27;m sure its been around a while or in other places, but this was the first I have seen and experienced it
