35 km/h, 22 mph.
▷ Maximum distance from the row of parked
vehicles: 1.5 m, 5 ft.
Suitable parking space
General:
▷ Gap behind an object that is at least 0.5 m,
1.7 ft long.
▷ Gap between two objects, each at least
0.5 m, 1.7 ft long.
Parking parallel to the road:
▷ Minimum length of gap between two objects:
own vehicle length plus approximately 0.8 m,
2.6 ft.
▷ Minimum depth: approximately 1.5 m, 5 ft.

gauge the depth of perpendicular parking
spaces approximately.
