Measurements & sources

Reference layout: Dubai Building Code 2021, Table B.11, two-way 90° parking. Enter measured dimensions for your garage. Changing vehicle keeps the bays and parked neighbours fixed.

Vehicle measurements

Manufacturer specification. These are UK reference trims, not a calibration of your own car. Edit the values below to match measured specifications; changing the vehicle selector restores its reference values.

Car length · mBody width, without mirrors · mWheelbase · mRear axle to rear bumper · mFront wheel track · mRear wheel track · mOuter front-wheel turning radius · mSteering turns, lock to lockMirror extension each side · m (estimate)Tyre width · mTyre diameter · m

Mirror extension is an editable estimate. Collision clearance uses a conservative rectangle enclosing the body, mirrors and tyres. Turning radius means the outer front-wheel centre path, not the rear axle or the body’s wall-to-wall turning circle.

Flat-ground, low-speed, no-slip geometry. Steering-wheel travel between the published end stops is interpolated; the rack curve, tyre compliance and real driving behaviour have not been measured.

WHAT TO NOTICE

The nose and rear need different space.

Stopped: an opportunity to observe before the next movement.

Sight lines ignore eye height, glazing and mirrors. The door arcs are illustrative. Neither overlay certifies real visibility or clearance.

ⓘ

Illustrative geometry, not an RTA scoring simulator. Clearances are model estimates, not instructions for a real vehicle. Use an instructor, continuous observation and local signs.

FEEL THE RELATIONSHIP

Take the controls.

Try small steering changes at walking pace. The model stops before a detected obstacle. This is exploration, not a test.

TAKE THIS INTO YOUR LESSON

Practical, not a magic formula.

Check the measurements first. The default uses 2.5 m × 5.5 m bays and a 6 m aisle as a reference; enter the dimensions of your actual garage.

Check the cars on both sides of the bay and the row opposite. Follow the whole body through the turn, especially the swinging nose.

Stop completely and look again before each change between reverse and forward. A correction is a new movement.

Compare the closer and farther starting lanes from either end. A search that finds no checked route does not establish that parking is impossible.

Reference vehicle dimensions and estimated mirror space are listed separately. The model has not been validated by driving your actual car through this garage.
