What is the standard size for a B2 parallel parking space?
2 Answers
Parking space (garage) length: For large buses, it is 1.5 times the vehicle length minus 1 meter; for small vehicles, it is 1.5 times the vehicle length plus 1 meter; for other vehicles, it is 1.5 times the vehicle length. Parking space (garage) width: Vehicle width plus 80 centimeters. Lane width: 1.5 times the vehicle width plus 80 centimeters. Below is relevant information about B2 parallel parking: 1. Purpose of parallel parking: To assess the driver's ability to correctly park the vehicle into a roadside parking space (garage) on the right. 2. Notes for Subject 2 of the driving test: During preparation, adjust the seat and fasten the seatbelt before fingerprint verification. Each test item in the examination area is monitored by GPS positioning, and the control line (yellow dashed line) of each item represents the test area. Once the front of the vehicle crosses the control line, it means the test for that item has started, and the driver must complete the test according to the rules. Before proceeding to the next test item, confirm whether there is a vehicle ahead undergoing the test. If there is, the driver must stop and wait before the yellow line of that item and must not enter.
I just graduated from driving school not long ago, and during my B2 license training, I practiced parallel parking many times. The instructor emphasized that the standard dimensions for a parallel parking space are usually 9 meters in length and 3 meters in width, with a total area width of about 6.5 meters, so that large trucks can safely reverse into it. The parking spaces in the test field are all standardized, but real roadside parking spaces vary in size. I was always worried about crossing the line or hitting the wall during practice, but later I mastered the technique and learned that leaving enough space is the key. These standards are quite important in urban planning, but in actual driving, adjusting your mindset and taking it slow is crucial. Beginners shouldn’t rush; familiarize yourself with the parameters before hitting the road for peace of mind.
