§ Mr. Russellasked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation what width of carriageway is taken up by cars parked parallel with the kerb, diagonally and at right angles to it, respectively; and how many cars can be parked per 100 yards of roadway by each method, allowing room for those parked parallel with the kerb to get in and out.
§ Mr. WatkinsonThe normal width of carriageway taken up is 6 feet if cars are parked parallel with the kerb, 19½ feet if cars are parked at 45° and 20 feet if cars are parked at right angles. The average number of cars that can be accommodated in 100 yards of roadway is 15 parked parallel with the kerb, 26¼ parked at 45° to the kerb and 40 parked at right angles, but angle parking requires greater space for manoeuvring than parking parallel with the kerb.
