Detecting a non-marked parking space for a vehicle

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations for assisting parking of a vehicle on a portion of a roadway that does not have marked parking spaces, wherein the parking is allowed on the portion of the roadway, the operations comprising:
• receiving infrastructure information that:
• describes an infrastructure feature on the roadway, wherein the infrastructure feature is adjacent to the portion of the roadway,
• defines a safety zone around the infrastructure feature where vehicles are not permitted to park,
• describes a location of the infrastructure feature, and
• a safety distance from the infrastructure feature, wherein the safety distance defines an outer boundary of the safety zone, and wherein the safety zone is not marked on the roadway;
• determining, using a sensor, an estimated distance between the location of the infrastructure feature and a portion of the vehicle that is performing a parking maneuver to park the vehicle on the roadway, wherein the portion of the vehicle is a closest portion of the vehicle to the infrastructure feature;
• and
• presenting a notification to a driver of the vehicle about the estimated distance.
