University of Sydney Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any amendments thereto. Full details of all Australian Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australia Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australian Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives details of new publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards. Suggestions for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head office of Standards Australia, are welcomed. Notification of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australian Standard should be made without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken. This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 92152. AS 2890.1—1993 Australian Standard ® Parking facilities This is a free 7 page sample. Access the full version online.

It is Part 1 of a series of Standards on parking facilities, the other parts in the series being as follows: AS 2890 2890.2 2890.3 2890.4 2890.5 Parking Part 2: Part 3: Part 4: Part 5: facilities Commercial vehicle facilities Bicycle parking facilities Bus parking* On-street parking The Standard sets out minimum requirements for the provision of off-street parking facilities, including multi-storey car parks for motor cars, vans and motorcycles. In this edition a significant amount of the text has been rearranged with a view to improving the presentation of material. New matters covered include the following: (a) An expanded section on barriers and wheel stops. (b) An expanded treatment of signs required in a parking area. (c) A section on dimensions for lock-up garages. (d) A section dealing with mechanical car stacking. In addition, there has been a rationalization of both dimensions and terminology for circulation roadways, aisles and ramps. This is a free 7 page sample.

Parking areas must also cater for bicycles, motorcycles, pedestrians, and other legitimate users. The basic dimensions for parking spaces, aisles, circulation roadways and other manoeuvring areas given in this Standard have been determined firstly by an examination of the dimensions of vehicles in the current range, and the selection of an 85th percentile and a 99.8th percentile vehicle (see Appendix A). Following this, a set of base dimensions based on requirements for the so-called B85 and B99 vehicles has been established, and a set of design dimensions has been derived by the addition of working clearances (see Appendix B). The concept of ‘parking module’ has been adopted to ensure that parking space width and length are properly related to aisle width. The success of a parking development requires an efficient design. It must represent a balance between function, economics, safety and aesthetics. Consideration must be given to the speed and quality of parking service, the traffic circulation, access to and from the street, the external traffic network, car manoeuvring, and convenience for the drivers and pedestrians, including people with disabilities.

The services of a qualified person experienced in designing car parking facilities should be sought in the application of this document. Moreover, its use does not remove the need to comply with regulatory requirements of local government. 5 AS 2890.1 — 1993 STANDARDS AUSTRALIA Australian Standard Parking facilities Part 1: Off-street car parking S E C T I O N 1 S C O P E A N D G E N E R A L 1.1 SCOPE This Standard sets out the minimum requirements for the design and layout of off-street parking facilities, including multi-storey car parks for motor cars, light vans and motorcycles. 1.2 REFERENCED DOCUMENTS Standard: The following documents are referred to in this AS 1158 1158.1 Code of practice for public lighting Part 1: Performance and installation design requirements 1170 1170.1 Minimum design loads on structures Part 1: Dead and live loads and load combinations 1348 1348.2 Road and traffic engineering—Glossary of terms Part 2: Traffic management 1428 1428.1 Design for access and mobility Part 1: General requirements for access—Buildings This is a free 7 page sample.
