Parking layout and services
Dimensions
Dimensions of parking bays should meet national standards, but for preliminary planning a bay length of 4.8m, and a bay width of 2.4m, would be rea- sonable. In the case of parking spaces for disabled people, bay length should be 6.0m rather than 4.8m, and each pair of bays should be separated by an access zone of 1.2m, so that two bays have an aggregate width of 6.0m rather than 4.8m, as shown on figure 2 of BS8300 – see Bibliography.
