The size of the parking space in the underground parking is normal

Parking cars in parking lots near some stores can be dangerous. It is so narrow there that passengers of neighboring cars try to hit the doors of cars parked next to them. In addition, there is a risk of damage to the bumpers when leaving parking spaces.

What should parking lots next to supermarkets be like by law and where to complain if the requirements of building codes are not met, says Karen Pogosov, a member of the Russian Lawyers Association (RLA).

Dimensions of parking spaces in open parking lots

The size of a parking space for 1 car in a parking lot is easy to calculate if you know that the following parameters are the minimum:

The length of the parking space is 5.3 meters.
The width of the parking lot is 2.5 meters

Moreover, the width of the marking, which is 10 cm on each side, is not taken into account. That is, a parking space must have a minimum area of 13.25 square meters.

It is important that the standard length of a car is considered to be 4.4 meters, width - 1.8 meters. At the discretion of the owners of the parking area, the size of the parking space may be increased

For example, parallel parking will be most comfortable if the length of one parking space is 8.8 meters, that is, equal to the length of 2 standard cars. In this case, the comfortable size of a parking space is considered to be the width of a standard car plus 1 meter, that is, 2.8 meters. This width of the parking space allows you to ensure the safety of the driver or his passenger getting out of the car.

At the discretion of the owners of the parking area, the size of the parking space may be increased. For example, parallel parking will be most comfortable if the length of one parking space is 8.8 meters, that is, equal to the length of 2 standard cars. In this case, the comfortable size of a parking space is considered to be the width of a standard car plus 1 meter, that is, 2.8 meters. This width of the parking space allows you to ensure the safety of the driver or his passenger getting out of the car.

If we talk about herringbone parking, then more space is needed. According to the standard, one such parking space must have an area of 18 square meters.

Parking spaces intended for parking cars for disabled people reach their maximum dimensions. Their width reaches 3.6 meters, and their length is 6.2 meters.

The law allows deviations from the specified dimensions, but such a deviation must be within 5 cm. Such dimensions are primarily due to fire safety measures. In addition, they help reduce the likelihood of accidents in parking areas.

What are the standards for parking lot markings?

Car parking dimensions

The vast majority of car owners every day are faced with clogged entrances and exits from yards, the inability to park next to a store or institution, any trip around the city requires a place where you can park your car for a while.

In modern cities, special areas for parking vehicles are set up for this purpose - parking lots or parking lots; multi-level parking lots are often built.

Kinds

There are several ways to arrange parking spaces, each with its own pros and cons.

The most common include:

parallel to the edge of the road;
perpendicular (at an angle of 90 degrees);
herringbone (at an angle of 45 degrees).

Let's take a closer look at these types of parking:

Parking space at 45 degrees. The marking is made at an angle of 45 degrees to the roadway. This type of parking is convenient to use; the driveways between the rows of cars can be made a little narrower than usual, since leaving the parking space at a smooth angle is much more convenient and the car requires less space to maneuver. Photo 1. Parking lot markings at an angle of 45 degrees: Markings not at right angles to the driveway simplify vehicle maneuvers when entering/exiting, entering and leaving the parking lot becomes more convenient and faster, and the likelihood of traffic jams is reduced.
Parking space at a 90 degree angle. Such parking spaces require great skill from the driver, since parking the car and leaving the parking lot is much more difficult than with an oblique angle; more space is needed for maneuver. Photo 2. Marking the parking lot at an angle of 90 degrees (perpendicular to the driveway): Placing vehicles at right angles to the roadway, which is organized in the form of a narrow strip in front of the building, creates a danger for both passing vehicles and cars leaving the parking lot, so how they get straight from the parking space onto the roadway. At the same time, the capacity of such perpendicular parking is greater than any other.
Parallel arrangement. Most often, such parking spaces are found along the roadway near sidewalks. If cars are located close to each other, then parking or leaving the parking lot is quite difficult. Photo 3. Parallel parking: So, for example, when marking a parking lot at an angle of 45 degrees, the required area for one car space is almost one and a half times larger than when marking transversely, and the occupancy rate of cars on a hundred-meter strip is almost thirty percent lower.

Any parking lot must provide the ability to easily enter a parking space, therefore, for example, if there is a narrow passage between the markings, then it makes sense to increase its length.

Table. Lanes for parking cars.

Placing cars at an angle to the roadway	45°	60°	90°
Width, m	5	5,4	5,5
Required area, sq.m. per vehicle	18	16	13
Number of cars that can fit on a 100 m long lane	31	38	43

Regulatory requirements for parking space size

In accordance with Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation dated December 7, 2021 No. 792 “On establishing...”, the minimum (5.3 x 2.5 meters) and maximum (6.2 x 3.5 meters) dimensions of one parking space are established.

Parallel parking size

Parallel parking lots are installed in places where it is not possible to move the parking lot further from the road than two to three meters. At the same time, the width of the parking space may be minimal, sufficient only to park a passenger car.

However, if such parking spaces are located between traffic lanes, they must be widened for the safety of people exiting the vehicle.

A standard car is 4.4 meters long and 1.8 meters wide.

For parallel parking, the size of the area in meters for 2020 should be at least twice the length of a regular passenger car, this will allow, with minimal skill, to drive between two other parked cars without much risk of hitting them.

The width of such a parking lot should be equal to the width of a regular car, plus one meter to ensure the safety of both the vehicle itself and the driver, as well as passengers getting out or getting into the car.

Perpendicular

Perpendicular placement of parking spaces is suitable for those parking lots whose width will allow you to freely enter and exit the parking lot without interfering with the movement of vehicles on the roadway. This placement of cars saves space, but makes it difficult for vehicles to enter and exit.

More suitable for small-sized “pockets” on the roadway with a width of five meters or more. One parking space will require only about thirteen square meters, since the width of one parking space may be minimal.

Herringbone

Diagonal herringbone parking markings are more suitable for large parking lots and parking lots; cars are located in dense rows parallel to each other at an indirect angle to the driveway with a zigzag line between the cars.

The top view of this arrangement resembles a Christmas tree, which is why this arrangement is called a “herringbone”. The location of the cars at an angle of 45 degrees implies the size of one parking space of 18 square meters, and the length of one parking space does not exceed five meters.

For invalids

Parking spaces for disabled people require an increase in parking space, this is due to the fact that such vehicles are often driven by wheelchair drivers, and there are also quite a lot of such people among the passengers.

Therefore, the width of the parking space should allow not only the driver and passengers to get out of the car, but also to unload the wheelchair so that it can easily fit between two cars. Photo 4. An example of the location of a parking lot for the disabled: It is recommended to place parking spaces for people with disabilities close to the entrance to the parking lot; on the one hand, this will save space, and on the other hand, it will allow people with disabilities to park closer to the exit for the convenience of their movement.

Typically, parking spaces for the disabled are located within fifty meters of institutions (clinics, social services and other institutions where there is a high likelihood of persons with disabilities).

Types of parking by type of car placement

List of cars for 7 spaces
There are three reasonable ways to arrange cars in a parking lot: parallel, perpendicular and herringbone. Each of them is good in a certain situation, but there is no ideal one, they all have shortcomings.

Parallel

Typically used along roadways or sidewalks. Its main drawback is that few cars can fit, and if the cars are placed close to each other, then it is very difficult to enter and exit such a place, especially for a beginner. There is only one plus: such parking may be closest to your destination.

Perpendicular

Parking a car at an angle of 90 degrees with respect to the roadway is quite difficult, but this type of parking has the greatest capacity. But according to statistics, it is in such parking lots that accidents most often occur, especially if a car drives straight out of the parking space onto the roadway.

"Herringbone"

Parking spaces are located at an angle of 45 degrees, and from a height the markings resemble a Christmas tree, hence the name. This type is the most convenient for the driver, it is much easier to make a parking maneuver, even a beginner can handle it, passages between rows of cars in this case are already made, but still the capacity of such a parking lot is 30% lower than that of a perpendicular one.

Dynamic dimensions of the car

The car turns relative to a point lying on the extension of the rear axle. The vehicle's turning radius is adjusted by turning the front wheels. Accordingly, the more the wheels are turned, the smaller the turning radius. But do not forget about the protruding parts of the car - these are the front and rear fenders.

There is one rule that many drivers constantly forget or ignore. It goes like this: You should always treat other road users with respect. In relation to car parking, this rule looks something like this:

Follow the requirements of road signs;

Park your car as quickly as possible to make way for other cars to pass;

Take up as little space as possible in the parking lot to leave free space for parking other cars;

Ensure free exit from the parking lot, as well as free passage for pedestrians;

If possible, park in reverse so you can leave the parking space in forward;

Avoid parking on slopes and slopes, as well as on narrow streets;

In the parking lot, open the doors carefully so as not to damage the doors themselves and the bodies of nearby cars.

The listed requirements for marking parking spaces cannot be met without innovative materials. Today, along with traditional waterproof and frost-resistant paints, others are used that differ in physical and mechanical characteristics and application technology:

Thermoplastic – gives good adhesion to the asphalt surface; due to the presence of bitumen, functional durability increases significantly.
Cold plastic - thanks to special additives, hardening occurs instantly; it contains reflective balls, they can be seen even at night.
Polymer tapes are a durable material, the unique properties of which (a double optical system improves reflective characteristics) are set during the production process.

The marking material used for marking must have a warranty period:

for paints and varnishes – six months;
for various types of plastic material - from one and a half to three years.

How to legally register a parking space in the yard?

In Art. 1.29. The Civil Code of the Russian Federation has a concept of “car space”, which is presented as part of the parking lot with mandatory reflection in cadastral registration. This zone has a designated purpose and is considered state property, like other real estate. To obtain the right to use this place you will have to go through a complex procedure:

Organize a collective meeting of owners in a high-rise building, where a majority of votes must approve the decision that a fragment of the territory near the house will be converted into private property or leased out for similar purposes.
Along with the protocol for collecting residents (it is worth collecting the signatures of all the people who approved the idea and a quorum in the form of a response from half of all owners), you must contact the nearest branch of the cadastral chamber to send an engineer - he is the one who must carry out the necessary measuring work.
Next, you should collect all the required documents (a sample meeting protocol, a site plan, a citizen’s passport and a certificate of ownership of the apartment) and personally submit a request to the cadastral chamber to register the new parking zone.
With a completed certificate from the chamber and a finalized design of the territory, you will have to personally contact the regional administration. And after issuing a permit form in response, it is necessary to coordinate the implementation of the upcoming changes with the branch of Rospotrebnadzor.

Only after all permits have been issued can we begin without restrictions to plan construction work on marking and fixing fences, which will be carried out at the expense of the residents themselves and on their initiative.

Making distinctions and markings

The problem of parking is most acute for residents of apartment buildings.

The number of cars increases every year. Often there are two cars per family. According to the law, residents of houses cannot be required to park their vehicles in paid parking lots. This action will be considered illegal.

Parking lots located near apartment buildings must comply with legal requirements. First of all, they should not become an obstacle to the movement of pedestrians and other vehicles.

When arranging a parking lot, the following rules must be taken into account:

The parking lot must be located at least 10 meters from the windows on the first floors of the house.
If there are about 10 cars in the parking lot, then this distance increases to 15 meters.
When arranging a parking lot for 50 cars, the distance to the house must be at least 50 meters.
If we are talking about creating a parking lot for 100 or more cars, it is necessary to develop separate project documentation. In this case, special requirements will be placed on the coating.
If the height of the house is more than 28 meters, it is necessary to equip two exits from the parking lot.
Parking lots in the courtyards of apartment buildings must comply with fire safety standards. A fire barrier of the first type must be installed from brick or concrete.

Particular attention must be paid to the correct marking of parking spaces. Parking will only be permitted if appropriate signs are installed.

Before marking is carried out, it is necessary to select a location and calculate the number of cars

The following points are taken into account:

How will cars be parked?
What kind of cars will the parking be intended for? Most often, spaces near houses are equipped only for passenger cars, since special parking lots are provided for trucks.
Gaps between boundaries should be left so that one person can easily pass through.
Do you plan to install a fence or canopy in the future?
How close will the parking lot be to the house?

All these factors will influence the choice of place for parking and marking.

The parking space must be marked with special paint. For this, thermal paint, cold plastic, or polymer tapes can be used. When applying markings, if old ones were drawn before, they must be completely removed.

To provide more convenient access to the parking lot, you can make it elevated. To do this, the parking area is filled with asphalt or covered with crushed stone.

Parking spaces in apartment buildings are considered common property. In this regard, it is impossible to organize parking in separate groups without taking into account the opinions of neighbors.

For information on the rules for organizing parking areas in the courtyards of apartment buildings, see the following video:

Standards for the size of the area adjacent to the house and for the designed number of parking spaces

The situation is related to savings and the reluctance of developers to implement complex projects. Turning to the “Norms and Rules for the Design of Layout and Development of Moscow MGSN 1.01-99”, let’s say that the number of parking spaces is determined by the class of the new building. Thus, in the economy class (apartment with an area of up to 30 sq. m. per inhabitant), each apartment corresponds to one parking space, in the business class (apartment with an area of 30 to 50 sq. m. per inhabitant) - at least 1 ,7, and in apartments of a higher category with an area of more than 50 sq.m. There are two parking spaces per person. At the same time, the developer includes parking spaces in the project depending on the total area of the house, its type and comfort. It is at the stage of design and approval of project documentation that the type of future parking is determined - underground parking, a separate multi-level complex or a free “pocket” in the local area for guest cars.

Thus, if the land plot on which your house stands is owned by the residents of the house (that is, it is registered in the cadastral register), then the owners have the right to dispose of it and organize parking regardless of the existing paid underground or multi-level surface parking from the developer. If paid parking from the developer is located in your local area, you can offer the parking lot to resolve this issue amicably or go to court, citing the illegality of the construction of the facility.

An example of calculating the loads of a residential building with built-in premises of various types according to SP 31-110-2003

In this case, everything is very simple, because We only know the area of the premises, then the design load will be determined by the aggregated specific electrical loads (clause 6.32 and table 6.14). In Table 6.14 we select the value 0.054 kW/m2. and multiply by the area of the offices (line 48 “TRN”). Then we apply the maximum mismatch coefficient from Table 6.13 to the calculated values (the intersection of the first row with the seventh column). We look at the result in line 49 “TRN”.

In general, there are no examples of calculations on the Internet. I had to figure it out myself. So, today we’ll look at how to create a summary table for calculating loads for a residential building (with standard apartments and five types of luxury apartments) with built-in premises of two kindergartens, a cafe, a dormitory, offices and a parking lot. Why so many bells and whistles?

Calculation standards for vehicle parking

What are the standards for calculations when designing parking lots? Photo No. 2

Previously, when cars were more of a luxury than a means of transportation, the need to accommodate them was not taken into account when building houses.

By capacity:

ten cars - the minimum distance to a residential building is 15 meters (at least twenty-five to children's and sports grounds);
for fifty cars or more - the distance must be at least 25 meters to residential premises with windows or 15 meters to technical premises without them;
from one hundred to three hundred cars - no closer than 50 meters to any building, plus, design documentation is being developed, and special requirements for the coating are imposed.

Important! Regardless of the size of the parking lot, it is necessary to preserve pedestrian areas for the safety of residents and ensure unimpeded access for emergency services

Nuances

Who makes the decision to organize car parking? Photo No. 4

When constructing new buildings, developers are responsible for the calculations and arrangement of parking spaces. In other cases, this issue can be addressed by the owners of apartments in apartment buildings. After all, the land adjacent to the house belongs to their common property. Therefore, the decision to organize parking near the house must be made at a meeting.

When placing parking in the yard for less than 100 cars, no approvals from local authorities are required. Although in practice such coordination will not hurt. If the height of the house is more than 28 meters, then two entrances to the parking lot are required.

When placing a parking lot of any size, the interests of the residents of the building must be taken into account, pedestrian zones must be preserved, and emergency vehicles can enter the yard.

It is possible to park your cars in the courtyard of your own home. However, this must be done in compliance with the interests of other residents, taking into account the established rules. Parking near the house should not be spontaneous. They must be organized taking into account the requirements for the size of packing spaces, distances from parking lots to houses and other objects. When parking cars in the courtyards of apartment buildings, you must comply with the requirements of traffic rules and sanitary standards.

You can find out how to organize parking in the yard by watching the video:

Main aspects

Modern parking lots are a designated area, which is equipped with barriers, markings, and can also be provided for use on a paid or free basis.

First of all, you need to understand that standard dimensions were invented to ensure the safety of cars stored in parking lots.

For example, this may be required if one of the cars catches fire, and the flames will not quickly spread to neighboring cars, and most likely they will not be harmed if the parking spaces are properly marked.

Almost any material can be used to mark a parking lot, but it must be strong, visible and inexpensive so that constant exposure to weather conditions and car collisions do not cause emergencies, and, moreover, do not require large investments for restoration.

It is advisable to invite specialists to calculate the size of the spaces, because this is of great importance in the procedure for approving the construction plan.

Initial data

In addition, the official parking lot should be equipped with fire extinguishing equipment and, if possible, security.

Municipal parking lots in large cities are most often equipped with automated vehicle access systems, and they are also subject to strict requirements regarding the size of spaces and even the number of specialized areas intended for people with disabilities.

By the way, it is this category of people who can count on non-standard-sized seats, since they need more space for normal movement.

What is its meaning

After all, cars that could park on the side of the road and in yards, impeding traffic, are collected in a certain area without creating problems or breaking the rules.

In large cities, such as Moscow, they are creating park-and-ride parking lots that make it possible to relieve congestion in the central part of the city without having to pay for car maintenance if the driver uses public transport.

In general, parking lots help provide a comfortable driving environment in cities, without causing much inconvenience to drivers.

Legal basis

It also stipulates what parking systems can be used, how it is necessary to arrange parking lots that look like separate buildings or territories, as well as what standards must be observed to minimize the risk of emergency situations such as a fire or an accident.

Underground car parking: design standards according to SNiP

In addition, each parking lot must be equipped in accordance with fire safety requirements - this is one of the main requirements for projects in accordance with GOST 12.1.004. It is mandatory to provide evacuation routes for both vehicles and pedestrians. And during construction it is necessary to use fire-resistant materials that comply with the fire safety system. If the parking lot is mechanized, then according to SP 5.13130, it must be equipped with automatic fire extinguishing means.

Calculation of parking spaces for a residential building

D.K. Leikina, Ph.D. tech. Sciences T.E. Storozhenko).1.1 This set of rules applies to the design of buildings, structures, sites and premises intended for parking (storage) of cars, minibuses and other motor vehicles.1.2 This set of rules does not apply to garages intended for routine repairs (TR) and maintenance (MOT) of vehicles, as well as parking of vehicles used for transporting explosive, toxic and radioactive substances. This set of rules uses regulatory references to the following documents: System of occupational safety standards.

Again, these treasured spaces are automatically reduced and residents of high-rise buildings have to leave their cars on sidewalks, lawns and even on playgrounds. Anything that is not only unsightly, but also illegal, is punishable by a fine. Previously, designers provided new buildings only with narrow driveways along the houses and pockets for several cars.

How to choose the right place for future parking

In order for the future owner of a parking lot to build such an area without any problems, he must understand that his project must be located away from residential buildings and other frequently visited buildings; the law establishes a distance of at least 15 meters.

Such sizes of seats will help to place an average car without problems next to the same cars, when opening the doors of which the parts of the neighbors will not cling.

If the place is made in front of a private house, then the car must simply not look out onto the roadway.

Calculation of parking spaces for an apartment building

First of all, you need to get the support of the majority of owners, for which a general meeting is held. Two-thirds of one hundred votes and a decision is made (so that later questions from the owners and the city administration do not arise).
Request a copy from the city tablet at a scale of 1:500 (a copy of a certain part of the topographic and geodetic plan, it describes a specific territory or terms of reference for topographic surveying with a graphic application). It is issued at the city center of urban planning and architecture.
Then a diagram of the yard should be drawn up, taking into account future parking. It is carried out by the design organization in compliance with all requirements.

Failure to comply with the speed limit (up to 20 km/h) – five hundred rubles or deprivation of rights for a year.
Parking near garbage containers - from two to five thousand.
Parking on the sidewalk or pedestrian crossing - two thousand.
Cars with the engine on, in an interval of more than five minutes - from one and a half to three.

What size parking space is provided for a passenger car in the courtyard of an apartment building?

Regulatory authorities have established rules with the maximum and minimum allowable parking spaces near multi-apartment buildings. To legally create a parking lot, it will need to be registered and equipped in accordance with regulations. For the comfort of residents, the state has developed schemes for the organization and location of parking lots within residential buildings. Such requirements are specified in the “Building Codes and Regulations”. According to the document, a standard parking space in a parking lot according to SNiP should be located at a given distance from buildings:

Up to 10 cars - further than 25 meters from sports grounds and educational institutions.
Up to 50 cars – at a distance of up to 15 meters from buildings.
Less than 100 cars - no closer than 25 meters.
Up to 300 transport units - at a distance of 35 meters from structures with windows.
More than 300 cars - more than 50 meters from homes.

There are special location requirements for parking lots.

“Transport storage facilities” can be both underground and above ground. The main thing is to comply with the approved proportions. The distance between cars must be at least 0.5 meters. Care should be taken to ensure that vehicles can easily enter and exit the parking lot. Moreover, the width of one “seat” is at least two meters, and the length is more than five meters. The boundaries of the parking lot should be marked with curb stones and reflective markings should be applied. When applying markings, you should take care of sanitary and fire safety. They are ensured by correctly calculated parking dimensions.

Standard parking pocket size

The size of the widening of the roadway corresponds to the standards for parking near residential buildings. It is determined at the legislative level and allows you to protect citizens from emergencies that may arise due to incorrect organization of parking. The size of a parking space according to GOST must be no less than 5.3 × 2.5 meters and no more than 6.2 × 3.6 meters. In this case, the gap between the parking lot and the parking bay must be at least ten meters if there are up to 10 vehicles in the parking lot. The same rule applies to adjacent areas.

Parking lot marking rules

Parking lot markings are regulated by standards and regulations. Their compliance is aimed at organizing the comfort of use for drivers and safety. The determining factor in this process is the size of one parking space. GOST and SNiP standards dictate the following characteristics to us:

To calculate the size of truck parking spaces, you need to take into account their dimensions. The width in this case will start from 2.5 m. As for the length, options from 7.5 to 16 meters are possible, for example, to accommodate a tractor with a trailer.

Parking a car near the house: the effect of the law in 2021

As a result, the traffic police officer will draw up protocols and issue fines to all violators. Sometimes car owners do not comply with sanitary standards, then it is also worth taking photos and videos of incorrectly parked cars and contacting the appropriate services.

In some cases, a fine may be issued by fire inspectors, for example, when a parked vehicle blocked access to the house where the fire occurred. Employees of the management company can inform traffic inspectors about illegally parked cars. For example, if the law on parking near garbage cans is violated. In this case, in order to still remove household waste, management employees can call a tow truck.

Dimensions of parking spaces in an open parking lot according to parking standards - BTI

The increasing number of vehicles creates problems for car owners with parking.

The areas allocated for this are sorely lacking, so unscrupulous drivers often break the rules by abandoning cars in the wrong places.

Abandoned vehicles create problems on the road, leading to congestion, limited road visibility, and sometimes accidents occur due to such vehicles.

How to determine the size of a parking space.

Size of parking space for a car

Since 2021, several changes have been made to the legislation on the size of parking spaces - now minimum and maximum parameters are provided for cars and other cars. Along with this, a parking space in the yard is recognized as real estate - accordingly, it can be bought, sold and registered as a property, just like an apartment.

Expert opinion
Sobolev Dmitry
Administrative offenses lawyer, website expert

It is also important to know what is considered the adjacent territory of an apartment building - we previously discussed this issue in detail here

Parking sizes: latest changes in legislation 2018

All dimensions of the parking space are reflected in SNiP 21-02-99, in force since 2011. According to this document, parking parameters for a passenger car should be as follows:

width 2.5 meters;
length 5.3 meters.

In this case, the width of the marking (up to 0.1 meters) is not included in the dimensions of the parking space.

In the case of parking for disabled cars, all parameters increase:

length – 6.2 meters;
width – 3.6 meters.

As a rule, near hospitals, large shopping centers, shops, cultural institutions and in modern residential neighborhoods, 10 to 20% of the total parking area is allocated for the disabled.

The same document specifies technical requirements for the organization of parking space, parameters of materials used for fencing the territory, in particular:

The boundaries of off-street parking should always be fenced off using curbstones.
In courtyards and other places, reflective markings must be created (on poles and other vertical supports).
Thermoplastic or nitro paint is used for marking on the asphalt surface. However, in most cases, a cheap water-based mixture is used, which disappears completely in 1 season due to precipitation.

The latest changes in legislation, which came into force on January 1, 2021, established that the minimum parking size is now 5.3 * 2.5 meters, and the maximum corresponds to the indicators for cars of disabled drivers.

NOTE. Also, as of January 1, a parking space became a recognized piece of real estate. This means that now it can be bought with a mortgage (together with the apartment), sold, bequeathed, and also registered as property, like any other real estate property

Preparation for marking work

Before work on marking the territory is carried out, a location is selected and the total number of parking spaces and the features of their location are calculated based on several considerations:

What kind of cars will the parking be intended for? Most often, parking is provided only for cars, since special zones are created for trucks.
How large the gaps between the borders can be left is usually based on ensuring that 1 person can freely pass between the cars.
How exactly cars will be parked – lengthwise or widthwise (type of parking).

Along with these circumstances, secondary factors (thickness of markings, fencing - general or individual), and aesthetic considerations are also taken into account.

Procedure and cost of marking

When applying markings, the following rules are followed:

Optimal weather is dry and warm (from +18°C to +25°C).
The materials used are thermoplastic, paint or polymer tapes.
Deviation from the permissible dimensions of a parking space is no more than 5 cm in each direction.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

Preparing the material (paint, paint) for work.
Preparing the area for work - clearing the previous markings (they should completely disappear), as well as removing dust and debris.
Drawing a preliminary contour in accordance with the parameters.
Paint each contour until you get straight lines.
Improvement of the parking lot - marking special areas (for the disabled), painting pillars with fluorescent paint (for example, highlighting places with fire extinguishers), applying numbering and other means for easy navigation through a large parking area.

On the minimum and maximum permissible dimensions of a parking space

In 2021, the Russian real estate market was replenished with a new object of civil rights - a parking space. A parking space in underground parking lots and multi-storey parking lots has become a full-fledged piece of real estate that can be sold, bought, and made other transactions. You can even buy such a property with a mortgage, since today the bank can take a parking space as collateral. To register ownership of a parking space and make transactions with it, it is necessary to carry out state cadastral registration of such a property.

The law establishes certain requirements for the permissible dimensions of a parking space. Thus, by order of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia dated December 7, 2016 No. 792 “On establishing the minimum and maximum permissible dimensions of a parking space,” the minimum permissible dimensions of a parking space are defined as 5.3 x 2.5 m and the maximum permissible dimensions as 6.2 x 3, 6 m. Dimensions are calculated relative to the dimensions, that is, the length and width of cars placed in parking spaces.
