The Average Size of Parking Spaces in Canada
Posted: Aug, 07, 2020 1:26PM ET • 1 min read
When planning for or updating your parking facility’s layout, it’s important to understand your options. You’ll need to consider parking space dimensions and ways you can optimize the amount of parking spaces available in your lot, while still accommodating different vehicle sizes.
Although parking lots are not one-size-fits-all, there are general standards for the overall dimensions of a parking stall. First and foremost, it’s essential to provide a healthy balance of small and large parking spaces in order to accommodate the needs of various vehicles, such as trucks, vans, and smart cars, while still optimizing your capacity.
Parking space dimensions can range in width and length. While the standard size of a parking space in North America is usually around eight feet wide by 16 feet long, parking facilities (e.g., such as a grocery store) may offer larger stalls up to 10 feet wide and 20 feet long.
For exact parking lot dimension regulations in your region, a quick search online or call to your regional bylaw officer will help get you started.
