Both spaces and places work, but spaces sounds best to be because the phase "parking space" is much more commonly used.
An edge is a boundary. In this case I believe the subtle difference between on and at is that if you are at a boundary, then you have arrived the boundary, but have not yet crossed it. If you are on a boundary you are already crossing it.
Because you are not doing any crossing of boundaries in this case, both prepositions work. If I had to choose, I would choose on, but there is no formal reason for this choice, its totally down to preference. |
Thanks, moggy and Niall, for your efforts.
By the way, I'm not very sure of the meaning of the bolded phrase in your post. Does it indicate "it's totally decided by preference" or something else?
