open parking (area) --OR-- rotational parking (area)
The Catalan example sentence, featuring this seldom-used but comprehensible term, apparently refers to different areas for parking (by categories), one of these being open parking or "rotation"/"rotational" parking.
The 2nd example shows "open parking" in use (see also: http://www.traffictechnologytoday.com/news.php?NewsID=7766). As with the original Catalan term, these latter 2 variants are not commonly used terms but are equally clear.

David Oliver
: refers to singular (i.e., area), not plural (spaces); also would use "rotation" in this case (not "rotating") to avoid confusion with the mechanisms that physically rotate cars (auto shops, etc.)

After the colon, the text is in plural. Also, we all know that not all singulars are singular and not all plurals are plural when translating. With regards to your second comment, it's purely a matter of taste.
