What is the size of a parking space?

[DeZoey]

According to the "Specifications for Setting On-Street Parking Spaces in Urban Roads," the standard size of a parking space is determined based on the vehicle type. The dimensions for small parking spaces are typically 2.5~2.7 meters in width and 5~6 meters in length. A single-lane turnaround lane should be no less than 3.5 meters wide, while a double-lane should be no less than 5 meters wide. The turnaround section should accommodate a vehicle's one-time turnaround needs. For safety or to accommodate medium and large vehicles, the length is often set to 6 meters or more. Details are as follows: (Length ≤ 6m, width ≤ 1.8m) vehicles: The spacing between vehicles should be no less than 0.5 meters, and the distance between the vehicle and walls or the end of the parking space should also be no less than 0.5 meters. (6m < length ≤ 8m, 1.8m < width ≤ 2.2m) vehicles: The spacing between vehicles should be no less than 0.7 meters. Small vehicle parking space: Length ≥ 5 meters, width 2.2-2.5 meters. Large vehicle parking space: Length 7-10 meters, width 4 meters, depending on the vehicle type. According to the "Code for Design of Parking Garages," the specific dimensions for small car parking spaces in indoor parking garages are as follows: The design dimensions for small cars are 4.8m (length) x 1.8m (width) x 2.0m (height). The minimum size for a small car parking space using a perpendicular parking method should be 5.3m (length) x 2.4m (width), with a minimum access lane width of 5.5m in front of the parking space. The minimum distance between the small car and the side walls should be 0.6m, and the minimum distance to the front and rear walls should be 0.5m. Modern underground parking garages have large floor areas and numerous parking spaces. To ensure free vehicle movement, the area allocated for driveways is relatively large. Driveways, as horizontal passages dedicated to parking spaces, account for the primary floor area allocated to parking spaces and may occupy 50% or more of the total parking space floor area. Parking space arrangements can be categorized into three types: parallel, angled (30°, 45°, 60°), and perpendicular. Large vehicle parking spaces should not use angled or perpendicular arrangements. Details are as follows: Parallel parking space: Standard length is 6 meters, width is 2.5 meters. Angled parking space: Diagonal length should reach 6 meters, width 2.8 meters, with a vertical distance of 2.5 meters between the two diagonal lines. Perpendicular parking space: Length ≥ 5 meters, typically set at 6 meters, width 2.5 meters. The optimal standard size is 2.5m x 5.3m. The "Road Traffic Safety Law" stipulates that on-street parking spaces shall not be set up on roads with a width of less than 6 meters for motor vehicle traffic. Pedestrian crossings, expressways, and main roads are also prohibited from having parking spaces. Within urban road areas, government authorities may designate parking spaces where pedestrian and vehicle traffic is not obstructed. On-street parking spaces should avoid interfering with non-motorized vehicle traffic and must not encroach on non-motorized vehicle lanes. They should not be set up near road intersections, building entrances, or bus stops. Parking regulations, including vehicle types and time limits, should be clearly indicated with signs. Measures should be taken to prevent interference with motor vehicle traffic. Additionally, on-street parking spaces should not be equipped with ground locks to prevent private occupation. Roads where parking is prohibited may have barriers, bollards, or curbs installed. After removal or cancellation of parking spaces, all related signs, markings, and management facilities should be promptly cleared to prevent continued parking and ensure road safety. Furthermore, on-street parking spaces should not be set up within 200m~300m of off-street public parking lots. Quantitative regulations for on-street parking spaces: The "Specifications for Setting On-Street Parking Spaces in Urban Roads" provides quantitative regulations based on road width. For two-way roads, if the actual road width exceeds 12 meters, parking spaces may be set on both sides; if the width is between 12 meters and 8 meters, parking spaces may be set on one side; if less than 8 meters, no parking spaces should be set. For one-way roads, if the actual road width exceeds 9 meters, parking spaces may be set on both sides; if the width is between 9 meters and 6 meters, parking spaces may be set on one side; if less than 6 meters, no parking spaces should be set. Regarding disabled parking spaces, the specifications require that on-street parking spaces should include disabled parking spaces, accounting for no less than 2% of the total. If there are more than 20 parking spaces, at least one disabled parking space should be provided. Parking space marking colors: White: Paid parking spaces; Blue: Free parking spaces; Yellow: Reserved parking spaces; Time-limited parking spaces: Dotted border, line width 10cm; the permitted parking time should be marked inside the border, with numbers 60cm high. Disabled parking spaces: Special markings for disabled parking spaces; yellow grid lines on both sides indicate areas for disabled boarding and alighting, where other vehicles are prohibited from parking. No other vehicles may occupy disabled parking spaces. Special pavement markings should be applied within disabled parking spaces to indicate exclusivity. Yellow grid lines: width 120cm, outer line width 20cm, inner fill line width 0cm, at a 45° angle to the outer line. The outer line length should match the parking space marking length. Requirements for prohibiting on-street parking spaces: Fire lanes, sections with no-parking signs or markings, and construction zones that obstruct traffic; Roads designated for disaster relief and emergency evacuation; Sidewalks, if set, must not encroach on blind paths; Near building entrances; Intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4m wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and sections within 50m of these locations; Areas within 30m of bus stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or fire stations, except for vehicles using these facilities; Sections within 20m of road intersection channelization zones; Areas near underground utility work pits (water, electricity, gas, etc.) and within 15m of these locations; Within 200m of off-street parking lot entrances; Near off-street
