The interests of the fire and refuse collection services have to be taken into account in deciding on road turning places.It is difficult to make recommendations for a correct choice of road turning place which is valid in all cases.

It also has to be suitable for the needs of the road users and must meet town planning requirements.The type, size and shape of a turning place in a road depends on the road use in that particular area.Garage parking spaces for cars should have an overall length of more than 5m and a width of 2.30m, but parking spaces for the disabled should be more than 3.50m wide.For lining up in front of a wall, a stop rail or rubber buffer will be sufficient.Overhang on vehicles must be taten into account.Where cars are parked face to face, transverse barriers about 10cm high can be used to act as frontal stops. Where vehicles are parked in lines facing walls or at the edge of the parking deck in a multi-storey car-park, it is common practice to provide buffers, restraining bars or railings up to axle height to prevent cars from going over the edge.Guide rails in the floor along the side have also proved popular for demarcation of parking limits, and can be about 50-60cm long, 20cm wide and 10 cm high.When parking is facing a wall, these lines are often painted at a height of up to 1 m for better visibility.Parking spaces are usually outlined by 12-20mm wide yellow or white painted lines.The growing population of India has created many problems – one of the challenging ones being car parking which we confront almost every day.
