Car Parking Space Standards: Essential Considerations

Mr. Ba, the owner of a 5-ton Hino truck, recently moved to a new residential area in Long Bien District, Hanoi. Excited about his new home, he eagerly drove his truck into the garage, only to find that, after much maneuvering, he couldn’t fit his “giant” vehicle inside. It turned out he hadn’t thoroughly researched car parking space standards, leading to this comical yet frustrating situation.

Mr. Ba’s story highlights the importance of understanding car parking space standards, especially when choosing a new home or building a garage.

What are Car Parking Space Standards?

Car parking space standards are regulations defining the minimum dimensions of a parking area, including length, width, and height. These standards ensure convenient movement, entry, and exit, and promote safe parking to prevent collisions and scratches.

Mr. Nguyen Van A, a traffic architecture expert at the Institute of Transport Planning and Design, stated: “Adhering to car parking space standards not only ensures the safety of vehicles and users but also contributes to a civilized and modern urban environment.” (Hypothetical quote)

Factors Influencing Car Parking Space Standards

1. Vehicle Type

The required parking space varies depending on the size of the vehicle (car, pickup truck, truck, etc.).

For example, the parking space standard for a 4-seater car is usually smaller than that for a 7-seater car or a pickup truck.

2. Parking Location

Indoor car parking space standards (garages) are often more carefully calculated than outdoor car parking space standards. Besides parking space, you also need to consider space for maneuvering, opening doors, and retrieving belongings.

3. Legal Regulations

Car parking space standards are specifically defined in legal documents related to construction and transportation. For instance, the National Technical Regulation QCVN 01:2021/BXD stipulates car parking space standards in construction projects.
