# What Are the Standard Parking Space Dimensions?

Parking space dimensions vary from region to region, and even from property to property. They will vary depending on things like the amount of traffic in the parking lot to local laws.

Thinking about [repainting your parking lot lines](https://info.asphaltkingdom.com/parking-lot-lines-striping)? It’s one of the simplest ways to breathe new life into an aging parking lot. It’s also one of the more affordable parking lot maintenance options, and one that you can do yourself if you have the time and the [right line striping equipment.](https://blog.asphaltkingdom.com/line-striping-machine-buyers-guide) However, line striping does require that you know the laws that cover parking space dimensions in your area.

## Standard Parking Space Size

Whether you’re restriping an existing parking lot or repainting faded parking space lines, you’ll need to follow the standard parking space size as defined by your local laws. There’s no one-size-fits-all measurement, either. 

- North American parking spaces range from 8.5 to 9 feet wide by 18 feet long. 

You’ll also need to make sure that the aisles between rows of parking spaces are sized appropriately. 

- North American parking lot aisles are usually 14 feet (one-way aisles) to 24 feet (two-way aisles).

In some cases, parking lot spaces are angled. In others, they are parallel to the parking lot aisle. Parking space angle relative to the curb varies a lot from one property to another, and can be:

- 30º
- 45º
- 60º
- 90º

## Traffic Flow and Volume

You’ll need to lay out your parking lot appropriately to handle the flow and volume of traffic that you expect. One-way and two-way lanes help you do that. With a standard one-way aisle, you have a little flexibility and can make the aisle thinner than a two-way aisle, although there are situations where you may need a wider aisle, like the angle of the parking spaces. A standard two-way aisle will be no narrower than about 20 feet.

![Parking-Lot-One-Way-vs-Two-Way](https://blog.asphaltkingdom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Featured%20Images/Parking-Lot-One-Way-vs-Two-Way.jpg?width=1440&height=358&name=Parking-Lot-One-Way-vs-Two-Way.jpg)

## What to Know about Angle

Parking space dimensions will hinge on the angle of the space to the curb. This will also affect the width of your aisle. Narrower angles lend themselves to narrower aisles, because vehicles need less space to move into and out of the parking spaces. The wider the angle (the closer to 90º), the wider the aisle will need to be for the same reason.

![Parking-Diagram](https://blog.asphaltkingdom.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Featured%20Images/Parking-Diagram.jpg?width=1440&height=900&name=Parking-Diagram.jpg)

Parallel Parking Space Dimensions  
While most parking spaces are angled away from the curb, some are parallel to it. The standard parking space size for a parallel parking place is 22 feet long and 8.5 feet wide. With that said, your local laws may require different dimensions, so know what applies to you before you start line striping.

## Accommodating Larger Vehicles

The standard parking space size is designed to accommodate basic passenger vehicles (cars, pickup trucks, and minivans). However, if you expect to handle larger vehicles, like RVs or semi trucks, you’ll need to adjust your line striping strategy. For instance, a truck parking spaces range from 12 to 14 feet wide and 40 feet to 60 feet long. Again, local regulations will take precedence, so know what laws apply to you.

## Handicap Accessibility Considerations

All properties in the US have to adhere to [national accessibility standards](https://blog.asphaltkingdom.com/ada-handicap-parking). That means you need the right number of handicap-accessible parking spaces, as well as the right signage. Handicap-accessible parking spaces should be at least 14 feet wide.

 Judd Burdon has worked in asphalt maintenance for over 25 years. He started out selling driveway sealcoating door to door and eventually created his own asphalt business. After successfully selling Imperial Asphalt he retired to the Caribbean - at the age of 24! He was soon tired of kitesurfing all day every day and he decided to build a website to help people find asphalt equipment and start a business just like he did.
