There's parking for expectant mothers in the United States, but South Korea has taken the special parking designation a little further.
The country has marked off prime parking for women only.
According to the Huffington Post, there are thousands of spaces, outlined in pink, that are a little wider and a little longer than the standard parking space.
They're also better lit and closer to elevators and escalators.
Monitoring.com.au reported the city will be spending $100 million to create the spaces which is only part of a bigger push to make Seoul more female friendly.
Monitoring reported there are also 7000 new women-only toilets being installed and walkways are being resurfaced with a spongy material to help women who wear high heels.
The Daily Mail reported that this isn't the first time a town has catered to women drivers. A German town had a similar initiative in 2012. South Korea isn't alone either. China, Kuwait, Malaysia, Indonesia, Austria and Italy also have gender specific parking.
