Drakehouse retail park is similar. Apparently drivers have received tickets after parking and shopping in Drakehouse and then walking down to Crystal Peaks shopping centre.

#BecauseDinny but how do the know you’ve parked your car and left on foot??

Chinese balloons.

Did they go to Epstein's island?

Reference to someone asking about whether a bloke on the internet has been to measure a parking space on Valentine's day.

Posting on valentines day to berate someone for posting on valentines day. Classic.

Have you measured it yet? You said you would!

No

Most spaces are the same but some are bigger. Not by much though - 2.4m x 4.8m to 2.5m x 5.0m

Most spaces are the same but some are smaller.

I'd be surprised if any are smaller than the above as it's been the standard for decades. The 2.5x5 is the new standard that some areas have introduced

So to the centre of the white lines it'll be 2.4m...

But good effort for actually going out and checking it!

The signs say park between the white lines, not on them.

unless your car is 2.4m wide, you'll still be parking between the lines, which are at 2.4m centres.

Reckon the average persons waist has grown by more than 10cm since the 1970's let alone cars!

Broccers says they are small, they turn out to be small, people on the internet say they are usually bigger. Provided with evidence they are now experts on where the measurements are taken.

Buying a RichB build always measure in the centre of bricks - fuck right off you spastics.

[nuttinnew]

fuck right off you spastics.

You're only jealous of the 3.60m.

I am. The table actually says its 2.3 metres wide in short stay which is neither 2.4 or 2.5 centre to centre of white line to line.

if you're too retarded to understand simple concepts like the width of the space will be to the centre of each line, that's your outlook.

Either way, the chart shows that space is normal.

[Jobbo]

Trust Broccers to measure them and then argue about that.

The air above the white line is space into which you can open your door - you have to take that into account

If someone parks on the line though it’s deemed bad parking, I know that none of the car body should overhand your bay so when ticketed do they measure to the line centre ? I was caught for this a long while but but was at least 30cm over so was my fault.

Dave!

If this was me, id have typed out the first few words, then realised how dumb it would sound and deleted the post.

I've always assumed the bay to be "between the lines" also. I'm going to suggest therefore that the width of Broccers parking bay is 230cm (which is "short stay" as per Rich's post), but the pitch of the bays is 240cm.

It's much easier to think of it as the distance between the centrelines of the bays. Broccers finds this all a bit too difficult and thinks this isn't a disabled bay because it's not 3.6m between the lines:

Agree completely but whilst we are now deep in semantics - (in an attempt to dumb things down for john Q citizen comprehension?) the terminology used is incorrect.

As you aren't allowed to park on the white lines, or have your bodywork outside of the unpainted area, I would say it is correct to describe the disabled parking bay width above as 2.4m (guess), but the pitch between the bays is 3.6m to provide extra room for ingress/egress.

It's like this one - the parking bay width looks "standard", but the pitch between them is greater (which is obviously positive).
