Types of Parking Layouts Explained

This document discusses different types of parking layouts including parallel, 45 degree, 60 degree, and 90 degree configurations. It provides the dimensions and advantages and disadvantages of each type. The 90 degree perpendicular layout accommodates the most vehicles per space but has poor rear visibility, while the 45 degree configuration needs less area but is more difficult to park in. Dimensions for stall width, depth, and driveway width are also compared for each layout type.

TYPES OF PARKING - 01
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
