    This document discusses considerations for parking facility design including turning areas, parking spaces, multi-storey car parks, and ramps. It notes that parking areas should fulfill user needs and requirements. Design of turning areas depends on vehicle type and urban planning functions. Parking space dimensions and markings are outlined. Multi-storey regulations require minimum widths of 2.3m for spaces and 2m clear height. Ramps should not exceed 15% gradient with horizontal runs between roads and steeper ramps.

    DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
    • FUNCTIONAL PARKING AREAS THAT
    FULFILL THE NEEDS AND REQUIREMENTS
    OF THE USERS SHOULD BE THE PRIMARY
    GOAL.
    • THE PARKING SPACES ACTS AS A PLACE OF
    ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURES.
    PARKING FACILITIES
    (TURNING, PARKING SPACES, MULTI-STOREY CAR PARKS, RAMPS,
    REGULATIONS, PARKING SYSTEMS)
    TURNING

    •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.
    •THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
    FIRE SERVICES AND REFUSE
    DISPOSAL TRUCKS HAVE TO BE
    CONSIDERED IN TURNING PLACE
    DECISIONS.
    •TURNING PLACES CAN BE
    FORMED AS
    HAMMERHEADS ,TURNING
    CIRCLES OR TURNING LOOPS
    PARKING SPACES
    •PARKING SPACES ARE USUALLY
    OUTLINED BY 12-20 MM WIDE
    YELLOW OR WHITE PAINTED
    LINES.
    •WHEN PARKING IS FACING A
    WALL, THESE LINES ARE OFTEN
    PAINTED AT A HEIGHT OF UP TO
    1M FOR BETTER VISIBILITY.
    •IN A MULTISTOREY CAR PARK IT
    IS  PRACTICE TO PROVIDE
    BUFFERS, RESTRAINING BARS OR
    RAILINGS UP TO AXLE HEIGHT
    TO PREVENT CARS FROM GOING
    OVER THE EDGE.
    •WHERE CARS ARE PARKED FACE
    TO FACE, TRANSVERSE BARRIERS
    ABOUT 10 CM HIGH CAN BE
    USED TO ACT AS STOPS AT THE
    FRONT. 
    MULTI-STOREY
    CAR PARKS
    • MULTI-STOREY CAR PARK
    REGULATIONS REQUIRE A MINIMUM
    WIDTH FOR PARKING SPACES OF 2.30
    M.
    • HOWEVER, RECOMMENDS A
    MINIMUM WIDTH OF 2.50 M FOR ALL
    PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE PARKING
    SPACES ON ACCOUNT OF THE
    INCREASING SIZE OF CARS.
    • ALL STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS
    (CEILINGS, WALLS, COLUMNS,
    REINFORCEMENT) OF MULTI STOREY
    CAR PARKS MUST BE FIRE
    RESISTANT.
    • THE RECOMMENDED CLEAR ACCESS
    HEIGHT FOR CAR PARKS ABOVE AND
    BELOW THE GROUND IS 2.20M. AN
    ADDITION OF 25 CM IS PRACTICAL
    FOR THE DIRECTION SIGNAGE FOR
    CARS AND PEDESTRIANS, PLUS A
    FURTHER 5 CM FOR LATTER
    SURFACING.
    RAMPS REINFORCED CONCRETE
    CONSTRUCTION (IN IN-SITU
    CONCRETE, PRE-CAST
    • RAMPS ARE CREATED TO ELEMENTS OR A COMBINED
    OVERCOME HEIGHT FORM) COMPLY BEST
    DIFFERENCES TO ACCESS WITH THE FIRE-RESISTANCE
    VARIOUS STOREYS. REQUIREMENTS

    •STRAIGHT OR SPIRAL CAR PARK


    RAMPS ARE CREATED BY
    SLOPING THE FLOOR SLAB.
    •. THE GRADIENT OF RAMPS
    SHOULD NOT EXCEED 15%, FOR
    SMALL CAR PARKS 20%.
    •BETWEEN PUBLIC ROADS AND
    RAMPS WITH MORE THAN 5° STEEL STRUCTURES ARE
    GRADIENT, THERE MUST BE A NORMALLY DESIGNED AS 
    HORIZONTAL RUN OF ~5 M MAIN BEAM/SECONDARY
    BEAM SYSTEM AND
    LENGTH, OR IN THE CASE OF MOSTLY TO BE CLAD WITH
    RAMPS FOR CARS THE RUN CONCRETE OR FIRE
    SHOULD BE ~3M LONG,WITH PROTECTION BOARDS, OR
    RAMPS AT UP TO 10% GRADIENT. SPRAYED,FOR FIRE
    RESISTANCE REASONS 
    REGULATIONS
    • ACCORDING TO THE MULTI-STOREY
    CAR PARK REGULATIONS, SMALLCAR
    PARKS ARE OF >=100m2, MEDIUM CAR
    PARKS 100-1000 m2 AND LARGE CAR
    PARKS >=1000m2 USABLE AREA.
    • UNDERGROUND CAR PARKS ARE
    DEFINED AS HAVING THE FLOOR LEVEL
    >=1.30m BELOW GROUND LEVEL.
    • LARGE MULTI-STOREY CAR PARKS MUST
    HAVE SEPARATE ACCESS AND EXITS.
    • SUCH CAR PARKS MUST HAVE A CLEAR
    HEIGHT OF MIN. 2.0 m IN AREAS
    ACCESSIBLE ON FOOT ALSO UNDER
    SUPPORT BEAMS, VENTILATION DUCTS
    AND OTHER BUILDING ELEMENTS.
    • ESCAPE ROUTES OF MAX. 30 mARE
    REQUIRED TO THE STAIRS OR EXITS.
    CRITERIA FOR THE QUALITY OF MULTI-STOREY CAR PARKS:
    THE SCALE OF THE FACADES OF MULTI STOREY CAR PARKS SHOULD FIT INTO THEIR
    SURROUNDINGS THE FA9ADE ELEVATION CAN ALSO BE USED FOR OTHER FUNCTIONS, FURTHER
    CRITERIA: INTEGRATION INTO URBAN PLANNING COHERENCE, NATURAL LIGHTING AND
    VENTILATION,
    GREENING, UNCOMPLICATED SYSTEM FOR CHARGING FEES, GOOD ACCESS TO PUBLIC
    TRANSPORT.

    SAFE OPERATION
    VIDEO SURVEILLANCE, GLASS AREAS IN LOBBIES (OBSERVE FIRE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS)
    VISUAL CONTACT WITH THE OUTSIDE, VISIBILITY THROUGH THE LONGEST POSSIBLE COLUMN
    SPACING , LIGHT COLOURS DIFFERENTIATING THE STOREYS.
