A special light on your car would alert others to the fact that you're looking for parking, not just driving slowly.
This would:
a) let ongoing traffic pass you with impunity
b) let people who might be leaving a space let you know you can have theirs
c) let other would-be parkers know you've
'claimed' a space where someone's about to pull out.
Any ideas about where on the car the light(s) should be placed? Roof, perhaps?

Eh? I thought it was fairly clear. |
|
| |
The light should be on the dashboard of the OTHER cars. |
|
| |
If you live in a crowded city, people can come to blows
over parking spaces. |
|
| |
The parking space might be the trigger, but anyone who seems to be in a fight over a parking space really has much bigger issues on his or her mind. |
|

Hope about you turn your light on if you are looking for
parking, or if you are walking back to your car to leave a
spot (triggered like a car alarm remote). It's be great to
not have to drive slowly in a crowded parking lot,
watching people walking to see if they are heading back
to their cars. |

Could work out a reward system to encourage use: a
reward for if you are returning to your parked car and
turn your light on to let others know. How about if you
do this, and then someone looking for a spot turns their
light on to "take" your space, you have an account that
gets credited (a la FastPass): coupons at Jiffy Lube or
something. |

Realistically - just signal. (Californians: The lemon-colored blinky things in the corners of your cars. I know you don't use them, but they once served a purpose, just like your appendix.) |
|
| |
Corner + signal = car will turn. No opening + signal = ah, the poor chap is looking for a parking space. |
|
| |
To ascertain whether someone is looking for a space, just look at their forehead. If blood vessels can be seen throbbing so hard that they are in danger of penetrating the epidermis, you can assume that they are. |
