STUDY OF ON-STREET PARKING ARRANGEMENTS

IN MANY CASES, PARTICULARLY IN SMALLER CITIES, AN URBAN HIGHWAY FACILITY MUST BE DESIGNED TO PROVIDE FOR ON-STREET PARKING. THIS STUDY CONSISTS OF AN ANALYSIS OF THE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF PARALLEL PARKING AND PARKING AT AN ANGLE OF 22 1/2 DEGREES WITH THE CURB. THE ANALYSIS WAS MADE USING GRAPHICAL METHODS AND BY USING VEHICLES IN PARKING SITUATIONS. THE CONCLUSIONS OF THIS STUDY ARE THAT THE FLAT ANGLE PARKING ARRANGEMENT OFFERS SOME DEFINITE ADVANTAGES OVER PARALLEL PARKING AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR USE UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS. THE RESULTS OF THE GENERAL ANALYSIS OF PARKING WERE APPLIED TO A SPECIFIC SITUATION; ACCIDENT RECORDS ON THE EXISTING FACILITY ARE REPORTED AND CALCULATIONS OF ESTIMATED STREET CAPACITY ARE SHOWN. /AUTHOR/
