Car Park Designers' Handbook

The purpose of this handbook is to provide advice and guidance on those aspects of planning and design that will enable car parks to perform their function efficiently, economically and at the same time be user friendly.

The authors do not see car park design as being a finite art but as a compromise, a balancing act between motorist's spatial desires and the practical need to achieve economy of construction and effective use of the site area.

Stall dimensions, aisle, ramp and access-way widths, ramp slopes, headroom and circulation layouts in relation to the motorist are all looked at and discussed. "Car Park Designers' Handbook" has been written by consultants at Hill Cannon (UK) LLP with over 35 years experience in design, repair, improvement and alteration of structured and surface car parks.
