I've never seen perpendicular parking outside of a parking lot. one immediate issue is that many vehicles will not have a sharp enough turning radius to make a right angle turn from a single width traffic lane into the space. they will have to make a multiple-point turn and/or cross into the far lane (possibly with opposing traffic) to get into the space. I can't imagine how this wouldn't be a huge obstruction every time someone parked something larger than a honda fit.
- jessriedel 7y agoI see perpendicular parking pretty often. It's probably at least as common as angled parking in San Francisco (although obviously much less common than parallel parking). https://www.flickr.com/photos/ricardipus/2575893591/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/ricardipus/2575893591/
- scythe 7y agoPerpendicular parking on SF’s steep streets usually has huge backouts and is necessary due to the high pitch.
- jessriedel 7y agoI see perpendicular and parallel parking on the same street, so I don't really understand the necessary claim.
