Fat Cars and Small Parking Bays

An increasing number of motorists are complaining that car parking spaces, in various car parks, are simply too small. Is this really a problem or is the issue due to the size of cars that people are driving these days?

According to Park Rite, the largest operator of public car parks in the United Kingdom, the dimensions of parking spaces need to relate to the vehicles that the space is intended for. The current standard calls for bays that are 2.4m wide by 4.8m in length. But many of todays popular vehicles will only just fit into this space leaving no room for doors to be opened easily.

It has been suggested that some car park operators have purposely made their parking spaces narrower in order to squeeze more fee paying parkers into their parking lots. Some of the worst offenders are reported to be certain hospital car parks, some supermarkets and some long-stay airport parking lots. There have been reports of people unable to get into their cars due to adjacent vehicles being parked so close.

Is the problem due to the size of parking spaces or is it due to the increase in the size of popular cars? A common and popular 4 wheel drive vehicle is the Toyota Rav4. This common four wheel drive car has a width of 1.815m, without its mirrors. Allowing about 35cm for the width of the wing mirrors brings the width up to 1.85m. In a parking space of 2.4m width this would leave only 0.55m or 0.275m on each side. Clearly not a great deal of space in which to open the doors and get into or out of the car.

Narrow parking spaces is a significant problem for many cars that have long side doors, like many of todays 3 door models. The popular Renault Clio 3 Door, with its mirrors, is 2.025m. In a regular 2.4m parking space this would provide only 0.375m or only around 0.19m each side in which to open the side doors and get into our out of the car.

It looks like the problem is really down to the size of the cars that people are driving so perhaps car park operators need to take this into account when marking out their parking bays.

Top Tip: Make the most of your trip by spending a night in an airport hotel before your flight. And why not enjoy the hospitality of an airport lounge before you fly.
