So much of what we design & build is about getting the dimensions right. All of us will need a bit more room to get out of a car at some time in our lives. So Designers & Contractors should remember the critical Rules for these car spaces – 2.4m minimum in width, 2.2m in height plus the 2.4m additional space between car spaces.
FTR, I don’t like the trip hazard at the 45˙ transitions to walkways … why not design this out by planning footpaths cleverly?
And don’t forget:
- non-slip including any line marking paint
- really strong bollards – 100mm dia. usually get damaged in the first bump esp. if < 16mm dynabolts are used
- the cross falls / no ponding to every car space.
