France

When you enter a parking lot, you have the impression that everything is very similar. The reason is simple, there are standards that govern these facilities. In France, the standards NF-P 91-100 (public parking) and NF-P 91-120 (private parking) govern the access roads and the dimensions of the parking spaces.

Standard dimensions of a parking space in France

The dimensions of a parking space depend on the parking angle, the type of location (accessible to all or reserved for persons with reduced mobility) or the presence or absence of lateral obstacles (walls, posts, etc.). ). The minimum width of a parking space is 2.30 m in the absence of obstacles, otherwise it can reach 2.60 m for 5 m in length. In front of each box, there should be at least 5 m free clearance.

Dimensions of traffic lanes

Traffic lanes facilitate travel (entry and exit maneuvers) within the parking lot. Depending on the type of parking, they can be single or double sided. Single-lane traffic lanes require at least 3 m wide compared to 5.50 m for two-way traffic lanes. This is a bit different for private car parks with 2.80 m width for single-lane lanes versus 5 m for two-lane lanes.
