WHAT DOES PARKING ATTENDANT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

parking attendant

Parking enforcement officer

A parking enforcement officer or parking attendant or traffic warden and sometimes parking inspector is a member of a traffic control department or agency who issues tickets for parking violations. Where parking meters are used, they may be known as a meter attendant or a traffic warden. The term meter maid is defined by the Random House Dictionary as "a female member of a police or traffic department responsible for issuing tickets for parking violations," and lists the term as an Americanism originating between 1955 and 1960. The term is sometimes used derogatorily, for both female and male attendants. The term meter Nazi is pejorative. Their use is controversial and they are often perceived as being overzealous. In the UK, this is likely due to high pressure management focused around delivering a certain number of tickets per day leading to allegations of corruption and illegality. This brings accusations that their real purpose is to raise revenue for the local authority rather than keep the traffic moving.
