“Too much urban space is allocated to cars in cities – including free parking at the taxpayers’ expense for which little justification exists.” – Giulio Mattioli, transport researcher at Technical University, Dortmund
So, it turns out that cars are getting bigger and can no longer fit into standard parking spaces. Large SUVs, which exceed 1.8m in width or 4.8m in length would overhang perpendicular spaces and trap the occupants inside due to the proximity of the car parked next to them.
As cars are getting 1cm wider every two years, we clearly have a problem. Are we just supposed to start giving even more land over to cars for parking?
