A vehicle parking indicator including an elongated marker having a longitudinal dimension and a top edge. The marker is mounted on an outer body of a motor vehicle and is visible from outside of the motor vehicle. The elongated marker is configured such that when an axis of the motor vehicle is positioned at a 45.degree. angle to a curb, a sight-line between a side-view mirror of the motor vehicle and the curb is tangential to the top edge of the elongated marker.
