Planning Parking SIOI lor Buildings   For more Details : www.advocateselvakumar.com Parking area is a small piece of land in which we park our vehicle and drive-way is the approach leading to this parking bay. Though every square foot counts in terms of money and the demand for built up space is high, lack of adequate parking space and turning radius is bad planning. Whether it be a individual house, a small or large apartment complex, corporate business house, a multi-building campus or public facilities such as airports or stations, a lot of thought needs to go into the design of parking facilities. Parking lots whether for houses or office complex have to be designed not just for the present but with an eye on the future. Kerb side parking is also very important and an essential part of urban design.                         We have to adopt different                         norms when designing parking lots                         for residences, small or large                    shopping complexes, a combination                   of shops and residences, hospitality                   sector, public spaces such as airports,                   railway and bus stations and                   recreation zones, campuses and so                   on. Thus, parking space can be                   decided depending on the nature of                   the activity. Road landscaping, which                   includes kerb side parking and public                   parking facilities, will also have to be                   dealt with as this is the base for                   smooth flow of traffic. Parking designs International norms for parking suggest that small and medium cars require about 200 sq. ft. The turning radius for various categories of vehicles is also stipulated ranging from about 30 ft. to less than 500 ft. for large trailer trucks. These figures may not make much sense to the common man whose primary need is to comfortably drive his vehicle in and out of a parking lot whether it be in his home, office or public spaces.  For more Details : www.advocateselvakumar.com
