How do you design a parking lot layout?

  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.
