For most motorised vehicles, there are three commonly used arrangements of parking spaces—parallel parking, perpendicular parking, and angle parking. These are self-park configurations where the vehicle driver is able to access the parking independently.

In a diagonal or angle parking lot/street, the spaces are arranged at a 45-degree angle to the direction of traffic. It makes it easier for drivers to pull into the spot quickly. Getting your car into a diagonal space requires less steering than parallel or perpendicular parking.

Both asphalt and concrete make for great parking lots, roads, and driveways. One material is not necessarily better than the other, it just boils down to the type of use, budget, and ongoing maintenance.

Usually, surface parking is found in the form of lot parking, strip parking, angle parking, or parallel parking. When parking in surface lots, it's important to adhere to local parking regulations and guidelines for the safety of other drivers.

For two-way traffic flow, parking spaces perpendicular (90 degrees) to the aisles provide the most efficient design. The efficiency decreases as the parking angle decreases. Where a fast turnover rate is expected or where site limitations dictate, 60-degree- or 45-degree-angle parking with one-way aisles may be used.

Parking Stall Angle Ideally, parking lots should be rectangular with parking on both sides of access aisles. For two-way traffic flow, parking spaces perpendicular (90 degrees) to the aisles provide the most efficient design.

Reverse parking could save a life Reverse parking is safer than forward parking. In a study by the University of North Texas, researchers found that drivers who reverse their cars are less likely to be involved in an accident than those who leave their vehicles in the same position they parked them in.

Basic best practices are to:
  1. Eliminate dead-end parking areas, so there's always a flow-through of traffic along aisles (the driving lanes facilitating access to parking spots)
  2. Locate aisles and rows of parking parallel to the long dimension of the site.
  3. Orient parking on each side of an aisle.
