Abstract
A parking space barricade is disclosed. The barricade has a crossmember, a first pair of legs, and a second pair of legs. The crossmember has a first fork end and a second fork end. The first fork end is opposite the second fork end. The first pair of legs are joined at a first upper end. The first upper end has a first crossmember mount. The second pair of legs are joined at a second upper end. The second upper end has a second crossmember mount. The first fork end is pivotally connected to the first crossmember mount. The second fork end is pivotally connected to the second crossmember mount. The first and second pair of legs each are pivotal between a stored position and a deployed position.
