Whether it be a individual
h
ouse, a small or large apartment
compl
ex, corporate business house, a
multi-buildin
g campus or public
facilities such as airports or stations, a
lot
of thought needs to go into the
d
esign of parking facilities. Parking
l
ots whether for houses or office
complex have to be designed not just
for the present but with an eye on the
future. Kerb side parking is also very
imp
ortant and an essential part of
urb
an design.

                        We have to adopt different
                        norm
s when designing parking lots
                        fo
r residences, small or large 
                  shopping complexes, a combination
                  of shops and residences
, hospitality
                  sector
, public spaces such as airports,
                 
railway and bus stations and
                  recreation zones, campuses and so
                  on. Thu
s, parking space can be
                  decided depending on the nature of
                  the activity. Road landscaping, which
                  in
cludes kerb side parking and public
                  parking facilities, wil
l also have to be
                  dealt with as thi
s is the base for
                  smooth flow of traffic.


International norms for parking
sugge
st that small and medium cars
require about 200
sq. ft. The turning
radius for various categories of
vehicles is a
lso stipulated ranging
from about 30
ft. to less than 500 ft.
for large trailer trucks. These figures
may not make much sense to the
common man whose primary need is
to comfortably drive hi
s vehicle in
and out of a parking lot whether it be
in his home, office or public spaces.
