• Right angle parking
In right angle parking or 90parking, the vehicles are parked perpendicular to the
direction of the road. Although it consumes maximum width kerbed length required is
very little. In this type of parking, the vehicles need complex maneuvering and this may
cause severe accidents. This arrangement causes obstruction to the road track
particularly if the road width is less. However, it can accommodate maximum number of
vehicles for a given kerbed length.
Off-Street Parking Facilities
• privately or publicly owned;
• surface lots and garages.
• Self-parking garages
• attendant-parking garages
In many urban centers, some areas are exclusively allotted for parking
which will be at some distance away from the main stream of traffic. Such
a parking is referred to as off-street parking. They may be operated by
either public agencies or private firms. A typical layout of an off-street
parking is shown in figure.
