Elliptical sentence

Hi, I would like to write sentences in a simple and short form, but I do not know which way is grammatically correct.
Are all four sentences make sense?

It is a red car which is parked on the road.

It is a red car parked on the road.

It is a red car being parked on the road.

It is a red car to be parked on the road.

Anonymous Are all four sentences make sense? I understand all of them (and they have different meanings), but none of them is noticeably short or simple.

FYI. I'd just say

There's a red car parked on the side of the road.

Thank you! How different in meaning are they? What will you say when to make it simple?
