I really like the prototypes above, but there is a huge component missing, which is the design of the visual cues to get people to know there is a parking meter there in the first place. This sounds like it would be obvious, but I was recently a victim of a poor design that didn't have it.

Hello Joe,

Thanks for your visit. The parking meter above is a concept and still under development. I can send you the name of the designer if you want.

Hi Cara,

Thanks for stopping by. Good idea to use a backlight system, helps people with visibility problems and makes it a lot easier for everyone in the dark.

I thought cancel could also be interpreted as ‘undo’ or ‘one step’ back. While the button should reset the whole process, that is why I think Stop is more logical. Maybe it should be called restart?

Nice.
How about the “STOP” button says “Cancel” instead.

It would be nice to have a backlight system in a dark. The back light system leads you to operate this machine step by step.
