Residential Parking

Options
Hello,


I am unsure if this is the correct place to post this but was unsure where else may be suitable.


I have recently moved into a new build home.
It comes with a separate parking space just outside of the house.
I was wondering I anyone knew if there was a certain size that the bays must be. Or where I may be able to find out information like this.


Any help would be appreciated.

    Damn, that's why my car won't fit anywhere then - it's over 5m long!

    They also assume that you can turn on a dime to get into/out of the space, and that you dont actually need to get out of the car when parked...

    Mines 4.8m and overhangs most of the supermarket bays.
