Fire truck turnaround areas have standard requirements regarding width, turning radius, height, etc. Below are the specific details: Standards for fire truck turnaround areas: The width of a fire truck lane should not be less than 4m, the turning radius should not be less than 9m or 10m, and for heavy fire trucks, it should not be less than 12m. When vehicles pass through building doorways, the clearance height should not be less than 4m. Requirements for surrounding high-rise buildings: High-rise buildings should be surrounded by a circular fire truck lane. If constructing a circular fire truck lane is difficult, fire truck lanes can be set up along both long sides of the high-rise building. The fire truck lane should be more than 5m away from the exterior wall of the high-rise building, and there should be no obstacles within a 4m height above the fire truck lane. The length of a dead-end road in a residential area should not exceed 120m, and a fire truck turnaround area of no less than 144 square meters should be set up. A return lane or turnaround area should be established as required for dead-end fire truck lanes. Turnaround area size for building complexes: The turnaround area for multi-story building complexes should not be less than 144 square meters, for high-rise buildings, it should not be less than 225 square meters, and for large fire trucks, it should not be less than 324 square meters. The shapes can be "L"-shaped, "T"-shaped, or "0"-shaped.
