Can a 2-meter-high vehicle enter an underground garage?
2 Answers
Yes, the standard height for underground small vehicle parking spaces is 2.2 meters. It depends on whether the parking facility was constructed according to standards. Below is relevant information: Underground Parking: Underground parking refers to structures built underground for parking various sizes of motor vehicles, mainly consisting of parking bays, passageways, ramps or mechanical lifts, entrances/exits, and maneuvering areas. Characteristics of underground parking: High construction cost and long duration; Large capacity, essentially not occupying urban land, allowing cities to reserve more open space for greening and beautification, improving urban environmental quality; The protective advantages of underground spaces have led to the integration of large-capacity underground parking garages with civil defense facilities.
I've been driving tall vehicles for many years, and whether a 2-meter-high car can enter an underground garage depends on the specific garage's entrance height. Generally, the entrance height of commercial parking lots or residential underground garages usually ranges from 1.8 to 2.2 meters, averaging around 2 meters, which varies based on the garage's design and age. If you're driving an SUV or a van with a height close to 2 meters, it's essential to get out and check the height restriction sign at the entrance before entering. The sign indicates the maximum allowed height. If there's no sign, you can use a measuring tool to compare your vehicle's roof height with the entrance dimensions. Forcing entry poses significant risks—your roof might scrape against the garage beam or roof rack, leading to costly repairs and potential fines. I recommend searching for parking lot information or confirming with the management before driving in. Don't rely on guesswork; prioritize safety to avoid unnecessary trouble.
