Ramp width
One way straight ramp-min 12 feet(3.6m)
Two way straight ramp-min 22 feet(6.6m)
Circular ramp-min 14-18 feet(4.2 -5.4m)
Architectural and optical effect
•Ramp wall
-Painted with stripes contrasting to wall color
-Parallel to ramp surfaces or at steeper angles
-Use paint marking in between vertical column and travel way
•Ramp illumination
-Wall opening are restricted-distract the driver’s view
-Artificial lighting should take form of diffused illumination
-Reflector should pointed away from the direction of travel
Signs and Way finding
•Color-coding, numbering, visual cues,,
and even machines for marking your ticket
with your exact location to locate your car
for easy retrieval
•Locate signs in areas where driver can
read in a timely fashion
•Clear, simple, and direct messages
•Floor coding can be useful
•Signage should locate all major internal
pedestrian access points as well as
external major roads and buildings
Lighting
•Services illumination for public should be
(lux);

TYPES OF PARKING
PARALLEL
•parallel parking requires experience, and patience
•Parking spaces (min );
6- meters long
2- meters wide.
Advantages
•Works well in extremely narrow, linear spaces
•Requires minimum pavement area
Disadvantages
•Difficult for most drivers
•Less than ideal visibility of adjacent traffic
•Inefficient use of on-street space
TYPES OF PARKING - PARALLEL LAYOUT 01
TYPES OF PARKING
Angle 45°
DescriptionDimension
Parking space width 2.5 meters
Parking space length 5 meters
Advantages
•Reduced width requirements for layout
•Easy in and out of parking spaces
•Good visibility to the rear
TYPES OF PARKING - Angle 45° LAYOUT 01
Angle 90°
TYPES OF PARKING
•effective in low turnover rate or long term parking areas,
the perpendicular, or 90 degree parking configuration
is themost efficient and economical since it
accommodates themost vehicles per linear meter.
•Standard dimensions for this configuration are:
DescriptionDimension
Parking space width2.5 meters
Parking space length5meters
Driving aisle width (2-way) 5.5meters
Advantages
•Works well with either one-or two-way aisles
•Handles the most vehicles per square meter
of pavement
•Handles most vehicles per linear meter
TYPES OF PARKING - Angle 90°LAYOUT 01
TYPES OF PARKING
Angle 60°
-ideal for a fast turnover rate or predominantly
short term use
-often offset by difficulties of inefficient
circulation patterns and one-way aisles
•Standard dimensions for this configuration are:
DescriptionDimension
Parking space width- 2.3 meters
Parking space length-5 meters
Driving aisle width (1-way -4.5 meters
