Parking Lot Stripes and Parking Space DimensionsThe stripes on a parking lot include directional arrows, fire lanes, standard parking spaces, handicapped parking spaces, and aisles. Parking lots also have signs such as “EXIT”, “ENTER”, “STOP”, “SLOW”, “NO PARKING”, and “LOADING ONLY”. Speed limits and other traffic instructions optimize safety and efficiency of traffic flow. Stripes found in parking lots also indicate crosswalks.
In the United States, standard parking spaces should be at least 9 feet wide and 18 feet long. Perpendicular and angled spaces may need to be bigger so doors can open. Angled spaces should be positioned at 30°, 45°, or 90° relative to the curb or median. |
