The website isn't much use when you're driving around looking for a spot, unless you're a fan of distracted driving.

 

Yeah they have the dat, not hard to have a sign on the way in with those numbers.

A runway at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) will be closed for a few days after an Amazon Prime plane overran a landing early Tuesday morning, according to officials. 

 

YVR said in a statement that the CargoJet flight, operating a PrimeAir aircraft, overran the eastern boundary of YVR's north runway at around 1:45 a.m. PT on Tuesday. 

 

It said the crew of three safely got out of the plane, and no injuries were reported. YVR fire and rescue crews were called on as the flight came in.

Conversations between the pilots on the Amazon Prime Air jet and air traffic control reveal that the plane was experiencing a problem with its "leading edge slats" and was carrying about 10,000 kilograms of fuel. 

 

In other recordings, the tower tells awaiting emergency responders that the jet was "coming in fast."

I'm not really sure what value that would add.
If there is adequate capacity, Lot 1 is open. If not, they open Lot 2. The entrance to Lot 1 is then blocked and you must follow the signs to Lot 2. You don't need to know how many spots are available in each, you are directed to the appropriate location.

Is there someone moving that sandwich board when a spot opens up in 1? Doubt it. Ismo is an expert at this.

Yes, there are staff on site. Obviously they wait until there is enough spots to make it practical. No one wants to be driving up and down all the aisles to find the singular spot.
