Designing efficient, safe, and accessible parking facilities requires careful attention to stall dimensions, circulation, accessibility, and markings. To support architects, engineers, and planners, we’ve prepared a comprehensive Parking Standards Reference (PDF) that brings together the most important design guidelines in one place.
This resource covers:
- Standard parking space dimensions (in feet and meters)
- Accessible parking requirements for cars and vans
- Aisle widths by angle of parking (90°, 60°, 45°, 30°, parallel)
- Minimum ceiling heights and structural clearances
- Pavement marking standards, line colors, and signage
- Best practices for lighting, drainage, and pedestrian safety
