Compact car parking spaces measure 4.0 meters in length and 2.2 meters in width, suitable for hatchbacks or compact sedans; standard parking spaces measure 5.3 meters in length and 2.4 meters in width, suitable for mid-to-high-end extended-length vehicles. Parking spaces are categorized into two types based on size: Large parking spaces are 15.6 meters long and 3.25 meters wide, suitable for medium and large vehicles; small parking spaces are 6 meters long and 2.5 meters wide, suitable for compact vehicles. Parking spaces are divided into three types based on arrangement: Parallel parking spaces: The standard length is 6 meters, and the width is 2.5 meters. Angled parking spaces (30°, 45°, or 60° inclination): The diagonal length should be 6 meters, the width 2.8 meters, and the perpendicular distance between the two diagonal lines should maintain a standard of 2.5 meters. Perpendicular parking spaces: The length should be no less than 5 meters, typically set at 6 meters, with a width of 2.5 meters. Generally, 2.5x5.3 meters is considered the optimal standard parking space size. Large vehicle parking spaces should not use angled or perpendicular arrangements.

I've parked in quite a few parking lots. Standard parking spaces are usually about 2.5 meters wide and 5 meters long, which is sufficient for most family cars, and SUVs can also enter and exit smoothly. Micro parking spaces are much narrower, approximately 2.2 meters wide and 4 meters long, specifically designed for small car models like pure electric mini cars or compact cars. They save space but require careful parking to avoid scratching the sides. I often look for micro parking spaces in city centers because they are cheaper and easier to find.

From a parking management perspective, the standard parking space dimensions are 2.5 meters wide and 5 meters long, suitable for mainstream vehicles. Compact parking spaces are smaller and strategically placed in parking lots, measuring 2.2 meters wide and 4 meters long, which can enhance space utilization and reduce congestion. This encourages people to choose smaller cars over larger ones, helping to alleviate urban traffic issues.

Energy-saving car owners often opt for micro parking spaces, which are compact at 2.2 meters wide and 4 meters long, encouraging the use of smaller cars that consume less fuel and produce fewer emissions. Standard parking spaces, measuring 2.5 meters wide and 5 meters long, offer more room and can accommodate any vehicle. However, I believe prioritizing micro spaces can contribute to environmental protection.
