' r • PARKING DIMENSIONS AND LAYOUT The long term trend in•U.S. automobile designs had been toward longer and wider vehicles. This trend was reversed in the 1970'x. In the 1978 model year, cars range up to 19.4 ft (5.8 m) in length and 6.66 ft (2.03 m) in width. However, increasing costs of fuel and vehicles has seen the U.S. fleet size growing smaller. Many cars now being manufactured are in the range 14.5 to 16.3 ft (4.4 to 5.0 m) in length and 5.4 to 6.2 ft (1.7 to 1.9 m) in width. Observa- tions indicate that fleet dimensions vary in different parts of the United States. In California, as many as 40% of the vehicles are considered of com- pact size, whereas in some southern states and in Canada as few as 5% are com- pacts. It is estimated that as long as 15 years may pass before there is any significant change in fleet size in some parts of the United States. Typical parking dimensions vary with the angle at which the stall is arranged relative to the aisle (see 15.4). Stall widths (measured perpendicular to the vehicle when parked) range from 9 to 9.5 ft. Stall widths at supermarkets and ? other similar parking facilities, where large packages are prevalent, should desirably be 9.5 or even 10.0 ft (2.9 to 3.1 m) in width. • Substandard stall and aisle widths prove to be a false economy. Although this permits the marking of more stalls per given length, vehicles tend to encroach upon adjacent stalls so that one or more spaces are unavailable for use. The end result is no gain in actual space usage, but-a parking-condition surrounded by confusion. Table 15.4 is based on a stall length of 18.5 ft;7(5.6 m). The stalls length should be sufficient to accommodate the length of'most cars expecting to use the space. However, many of the "luxury" T.S. cars exceeded 18.5 ft (5.6 m) • in 1978. Aisle width is a function of the parking angle and stall width. One-way aisles ',are generally used with angle parking, whereas two-way circulation is generally used with 90 degree parking. In designing parking facilities, a common unit of measure is the parking module. A module consists of the width of the aisle, plus the depth of the parking stalls (measured perpendicular to the aisle) on each side of the aisle. In many in- stances, parking modules are completely separated from each other. Such modules are represented by the wall-to-wall dimensions shown in Table 15.4. Another type " of module available for angle parking is the interlocking module. The most common, places the bumpers of vehicles in adjacent stalls next to one another. This lay- out is illustrated in Figure 15.1, together with parking dimensions for various angles of parking. At 45 degree, a nested interlock is possible where adjacent aisles have one-way movement in the same direction. This places the bumper of one car adjacent to the front fender of another car and is not recommended, as the likelihood of damaged fenders is much greater than with other parking layouts. • LAUREL-YELLOWSTONE CITY-COUNTY PLANNING BOARD LAUREL.
