Can a Standard Car Fit in a Mini Parking Space?
2 Answers
Parking a standard car in a mini parking space is considered a violation. Mini parking spaces are smaller in length and width compared to standard spaces, with specific dimensions varying by project. During development, while ensuring the safety and functionality of the building, developers may maximize the utilization of parking spaces by creating some non-standard spaces. When dividing parking space areas, some locations are suitable for smaller spaces, which are usually priced lower than standard spaces. However, for owners of smaller vehicles like the QQ or Mini, these spaces are sufficient.
I've personally experienced a similar situation. When parking was tight in the city, I once tried parking a regular car in a compact space and ended up scraping the front bumper. Compact parking spaces are usually only about 2 meters wide, while standard cars like the Toyota Corolla are over 1.7 meters wide with a larger wheelbase, making it impossible to fit the car completely inside. The wheels often stick out beyond the lines. Security guards will issue a parking violation warning if they check, and I was once fined 200 yuan. What's worse, the narrow space limits door opening, making it easy to scratch the car body. The repair cost me nearly a thousand yuan. I recommend checking the parking space dimensions with your phone before parking to avoid impulsively parking in an unsuitable spot. It's better to walk a few extra steps to find a standard parking space—safe and hassle-free.
