what is the size of parallel parking space
The size of the area rests upon the purpose of the space. The bigger spaces are used if there is high retail customer / high turnover rate. Parking that is adjoining the curb is typically 20 ft (6.1 m) long and 9.1 ft (2.7 m) wide. The parallel spaces are usually marked 6.9 to 7.7 ft (2.1 to 2.34 m) wide.
