    The document discusses various considerations for parking facility design, including vehicular dimensions, turning radii, parking layouts, and ramps. It notes that parking needs to accommodate a variety of vehicle types and sizes through adequate space and maneuverability. Key factors are vehicle turning radii, ramp gradients, segregating vehicle and pedestrian access, and ensuring safety and visibility within parking areas. Parking layouts can be tailored to the available space and include parallel, angled, and perpendicular spaces. Ramps must not exceed a 15% gradient and incorporate horizontal sections between traffic areas.

    ) Parking:

    Parking facility should become an important consideration in design of any building complex.
    Transportation medium may vary from bicycle, motorcycle, car, van, bus, etc. Parking becomes
    a major difficulty and problem if it is not built correctly and adequately. Vehicle size, turning
    radius, guidance signs, and other factors all play a role in parking design and planning. Parking
    spaces may be parallel, perpendicular, or angled (30, 45,60 degree) to the driving lane or aisle.

    a.) Vehicular dimension:

    Dimensions, turning circles and weights of typical vehicles regarding space requirements and
    regulations for garages, parking spaces, and access and exit driveways.
    Vechicular dimension

    b.) Turning radius :

    The type, size and design of a place where vehicles can turn depend on the particular use of an
    area, the vehicles and the urban planning function. It is difficult to make generally valid
    recornrnendations for the selection of the correct turning place. The requirements of the fire
    services and refuse disposal trucks have to be considered in turning place decisions. Some
    authorities responsible for waste disposal decline to rernove rubbish from dead-end streets where
    refuse disposal trucks can only perform a three-point turn or have to drive backwards for
    considerable distances.
    c.) Parking layout:

    Parking layouts can be designed according to necessity and space available.

    • 0 degree or parallel parking to road - entry and exit to parking area are difficult, suitable to
    narrow streets. (One-way traffic).

    • 30-degree parking - easy entry and exit and used where large parking spaces can be provided,
    one-way traffic.

    • 45-degree parking - good entry and exit, normal type of layout and small space used, one-way
    traffic. • 60-degree parking - often used, good entry and exit can be achieved, less area.

    • 90-degree parking - sharp turn needed and used for compact planning, one- or twoway
    traffic.(Neufert & Neufert, 2000)

    • The public entrance and the movement of staffs and goods should be segregated. • Car parking
    spaces for disabled should be more than 3.50 m wide.

    • Turning radius of a car for 90 degree turn is 3.5m inner radius with the width of 2.5m width for
    single vehicle.

    • Turning circle for largest vehicle is an outer turning circle radius of 12 m.

    • Criteria for quality of multi-story car parks are safety, clear visibility, and parking space
    marking to enable drivers to remember location of their vehicles. Other factors to be considered
    are natural lighting, ventilation, clear view to outside etc..Ramp gradient should be 6% to 15%
    i.e. 1:16.67 to 1:6.67..

    d.) Parking requirements:


    e.) Ramps :

    There are various ramp systems for gaining access to upper and lower floors of carparks. The
    gradients of the ramps should not exceed 15%, or in the case of small garages 20%. A horizontal
    run of more than 5m must be included between an area carrying general traffic and ramps with
    more than 5% gradient. For car ramps the run must be more than 3 m long, with ramps that can
    be up to 10% gradient. The options available for the arrangement and design of ramps can be
    summarized under four main headings.(Neufert & Neufert, 2000) In large garages where special
    pedestrian routes are not provided, the ramps that are used by both vehicles and pedestrians must
    have a raised pavement at least 80cm wide.

    • maximum slope allowed in the international standards is 6.67% i.e. 1: 6.

    • Every basement shall be in every part at least 2.4m in height from the floor to the underside of
    the roof slab or ceiling.

    • The access to the basement shall be separate from the main and alternative staircase providing
    access and exit from higher floors.

    • Signs and barriers can be provided for proper parking and to avoid clashes. • Stop rails or
    buffers can be provided.
