What are the dimensions of a bus parking space?
2 Answers
Bus parking space dimensions are as follows: Minibus (small space) parking space: width 2.5 meters, length 5.5 meters. Large bus parking space: width 3.5 meters, length 12.5-14.5 meters. Parking spaces can be classified according to size and arrangement. Parking spaces are divided into two types by size: Large parking space: length 15.6 meters, width 3.25 meters, suitable for medium and large vehicles; Small parking space: length 6 meters, width 2.5 meters, suitable for small vehicles. Parking spaces are divided into three types by arrangement: Parallel parking space: standard length of 6 meters, width of 2.5 meters. Angled parking space (30°, 45°, 60° angles): diagonal length of 6 meters, width of 2.8 meters, with a perpendicular distance of 2.5 meters between the two angled lines. Perpendicular parking space: length ≥5 meters, usually set at 6 meters, width of 2.5 meters, with 2.5x5.3 meters being the optimal standard parking space size. Large vehicle parking spaces should not use angled or perpendicular arrangements.
There's actually a lot to consider when it comes to bus parking spaces! According to my research, standard bus parking spaces for regular buses are typically about 15 meters in length and around 3.5 meters in width. However, this depends on the specific situation – articulated extended buses sometimes require 18-meter-long spaces, while double-decker buses don't need much extra length but do require attention to height restrictions. In practical use, turning radius must be considered, with at least 7 meters of width needed for the passage between spaces to accommodate turning. Bus parking spaces in transit hubs often need to include charging station locations, frequently requiring widths of over 4 meters. The roadside bay-style bus stops in our urban areas are different again, with boarding areas needing to be 30 to 40 meters long to allow for smooth pulling in and buffering.
