However, NDTV reports that the new feature will display the parking availability with a small rounded 'P' icon right next to the travel duration within the app. Going by the report, the parking icon will turn red in color when there is limited availability. Furthermore, the report states that the users will be able to expand the directions to get more information about the availability of parking space.
Commentating on the addition of the new feature, Google has stated, "to see how hard it might be to park where you're headed, just get directions to your destination and look for the parking difficulty icon in the directions card at the bottom of the screen. Parking difficulties range from limited to medium to easy and are based on historical parking data."
