What were the dimensions for parallel parking?? Sean Paramount Asphalt

This was answered recently, but I guess it was on the old forum, 'cause I did a search and didn't find it. I use a minimum of 8 feet wide. 24 ft long for spaces in the middle, 20 ft. long for spaces that have access at one end. Others posted some different figures, but I forgot what they were.

hey Minimum width is eight ( foot. Minimun lenght is 20 feet when one end is open and 24 feet for the middle stalls or when one end is blocked hope that helps -Dean

The above are correct and are actually standard "street spec" where we are but it's never a bad idea to check where you are in case someone has put some goofy requirement in the building codes or street specs (depending on the job) somewhere. Another "catch" to look for is if there are any requirements for "set backs" from the ends of the last space; like how many feet it has to be from the end of a curb if there is a driveway or street entrance there. Here they changed (without really telling anyone) the required depth dimension for "head in, off-street" parking causing a few curbs to have to be done over by some very unhappy contractors. Was really a good idea, the old spec combined with SUVs made for some dangerous situations where people had to back too far into the street before they could tell if anybody was coming...it would have just been nice if they had publicized it a bit instead of tucking it away in the code books (of course there was no making excuses, the contractors should have checked the codes or gone over the modifications with the inspectors first). New construction was no problem because the code people "caught it" on the prints before approval, but a few folks that decided to just "add a few spaces" etc. got pretty upset. Better to check before you paint than get a beloved "inspector" that says "these are all wrong"...
