The word 月極(つきぎめ) is a common sight on signs throughout Japan but is often misread as 'げっきょく' by learners; the correct reading is つきぎめ. Contrasts with コインパーキング (coin-operated parking) and 時間貸(じかんが)し駐車場(ちゅうしゃじょう) (hourly parking). Monthly parking is essential in Japanese cities where most apartments do not include parking.
