Concept for generating parking space for vehicles

A method for generating parking space for vehicles, comprises the following steps: Determining whether a need for a parking space for vehicles within a geographic area including a road 303 exists. If there is a need for a parking space, determining whether a side region 309 of the road can be designated for use as parking space. If so, designating the side region of the road for use as parking space and signaling that the designated side region has been authorized for parking for vehicles. It may be signaled that exclusively automated vehicles 311 may park within the designated side region. If an automated motor vehicle parked within the designated side region is blocking another motor vehicle 317 parking within another parking space 313 from exiting, when a desire to exit on the part of the other motor vehicle is detected, the automated motor vehicle may be driverlessly guided from its current position to a target position in which the automated motor vehicle is no longer blocking the other motor vehicle from exiting.
