A vehicle lane and parking guide includes a mat which defines left and right guide lines. The mat is placed on the upper ledge of an instrument panel with the left and right guide lines on respective sides of the steering wheel column, thereby forming a low profile guide which assists a driver in positioning his vehicle within a lane and in parking.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention relates to a lane and parking guide for an automotive vehicle of the type having a steering wheel and an instrument panel, wherein the steering wheel defines a longitudinal axis and the instrument panel has an upper ledge which extends on both sides of the longitudinal axis.
According to this invention, means are provided for defining at least one low profile guide line disposed on the upper ledge on at least one side of the longitudinal axis such that the guide line extends along the upper ledge without extending any substantial distance above the upper ledge.
The guide line is positioned and has a color such that the guide line can readily be seen by a driver behind the steering wheel, and the guide line is positioned to assist the driver in properly positioning the vehicle on a roadway.
