What's the meaning of 間時肆拾貳 at a car parking sign
I'm trying to translate this car parking sign/garage and I'm stuck on the part for 間時肆拾貳
Google just returns the translation "In between", so I still don't know what they mean. Maybe it's like parking in between the lines?

This is a difficult one because this sign is 1) written right-to-left, 2) using kanji for numbers, and 3) using old/traditional kanji for the numbers.
So rearranging it left-to-right and using simplified kanji would give us
(top) [時間貸]{じ・かん・かし}
(right, red) [五十M先]{ご・じゅう・メートル・さき} [入口]{いり・ぐち}
(example in question) [二十四時間]{に・じゅう・よ・じ・かん}
(lower left, green) [空車]{くう・しゃ}
So (hopefully) the meaning is now obvious.
Here is a reference to kanji used for numbers.

@EiríkrÚtlendi 時間 doesn't mean hour in Chinese, it means time - as in, "Do you have time?". I assure you that most of the sign's vocabulary would be unnatural if read in Chinese, although most of us can interpret it without any issue.

@droooze: Very interesting. A quick scan of the red text didn't parse as Japanese, and the 镸 radical in 肆 looks like a non-Japanese simplification of 長, hence my guess at Chinese.

@EiríkrÚtlendi 镸 is the left-side combining form of 長. Refer to the top left hand component of 髪. (Simplified Chinese reduces 長 to 长, but the character 肆 was unaffected; I don't really know why.)
