‘Tuming cirles can range from 10.2 for atypical small car 10 12.62m for a Rolls-Royce; for larger limousines it could be up to 150m. These are minimum kerb-o-ker> ‘uring circles and do not include body ovechangs and driver ability, Hence, practical tuming circle diameters fr large cars could range ffom 13.4m to 150m. A simple template of a _ large car is shown in Fig. 4. ‘The examination of new cars available inthe UK shows ‘hat the height of 95% of standard cars fall below 1.85m, Jusive of roof racksfbox. However, for MPVs and 44s, sam the 95 percentile increases to 2.05m. Adding a roof box increases the 95 percentile vehicle height to some 2.35m and 2.55m respectively. 43 Geometric requirements Parking arangements should be designed to allow drivers to ‘manoeuvre easly and safely and, where appropriate, to segregate vehicles from pedestrian areas and routes, The manoeuvring ease isa flmction of aise and bay widths, which also influence the dynamic capacity ofthe carpark.
