because reverse out is dangerous.Originally posted by crimean:if got such parking lots, then will be easier to park. no need to reverse in. just drive into the lot n park. -
yaa. vision totally bloocked by the car beside.Originally posted by Xcert:because reverse out is dangerous. -
y no one mention the whole stretch at circuit road hawker center.
i think its not so common in singapore due to safety reason ba, imagine you reverse out and a car waiting for ur slot just 1m to 2 m behind you... -

Sctually you can find diagonal parking lots in SG
at all bus interchanges. -
the same thing lah... if you experienced... straight lot also can drive in... no need reverse parking...

Ya lor, waste space... If put like this, the management earn lesser money leh.Originally posted by nightzip:Look at the ends of each columns of cars, what a waste of space. The first and last slot cannot park any cars. Its a lousy design in the first space. And I dont think you can allow motorcycle to park there as well, as there are rules stated not to mix motocycle and cars together due to parking safety.
You may think 1 car parking only $1 for an hr.
But 2 cars/2hrs will become $2.
If 3 cars/3hrs becomes $3, you can buy 1 plate of chicken rice with it. It's alot -
Yeah, a friend of mine had completed her university studies in the States & she did mentioned that Amercian drivers are not good at reverse parking as they're too used to parking head-in 1st.Originally posted by newbie22:diagonal no doubt easier to park.. thats why its so widely available in america..
Based on parking ability, SG drivers on average, should be better when compared to the Americans. Moreover, the U.S. driving test is much more easier to pass when compared to ours. -
i hate butt in. so leh cheh. just zoom go in can liao, later reverse out lor. wat's the big deal.

If you drive 12m Volvo B9TL you might reconsider your stand. Parking for the abovementioned vehicles is usually 45 degrees.Originally posted by newcomer:i hate butt in. so leh cheh. just zoom go in can liao, later reverse out lor. wat's the big deal. -
siao. how can use bus to compare.
i ever drove 3000cc mercs(not to haolian or anything) also always head in first. reverse out slowly lah and turn your body to check the behinds.Originally posted by iveco:If you drive 12m Volvo B9TL you might reconsider your stand. Parking for the abovementioned vehicles is usually 45 degrees. -
What I meant was that 45 degree parking was the easiest, and hence most parking lots large or long wheelbase vehicles were built that way.

but US drivers are more considerate and courteous and nto as lazy as singaporean drivers thats for sureOriginally posted by True_Atlantean:Yeah, a friend of mine had completed her university studies in the States & she did mentioned that Amercian drivers are not good at reverse parking as they're too used to parking head-in 1st.

Always feel parking in head first harder to adjust your vehicle straight. Always find those head first ones never park in their lot properly. Then they never park properly cause me to park off-centre of my lot also if not I cannot come out of my car.
Also, SG carparks a lot of place the kerbstone damn high. Front got lesser clearance. Dunno why they wanna make some places kerbstone so high for what also. -
bukit timah also have.. The lots near courts, outside da vinci..

Yup!Originally posted by reddressman:I think I knoe why some thinks this not implemented.
I think its because it depends on the decision maker.
If he okays, then okay.
If he not okay, then not okay.
I think its not that people have not thought of it or asked for more.
He makes the calculations, and decides.
If diagonal can have space for an extra car, it will be diagonal.
Or if space favours diagonal parking for ease of manuverability.
If straight or diagonal makes no diff, then it will be straight, because its easier to paint the markings. -
Because all the carpark space provided are beri small if build like the US they will have lesser lotsOriginally posted by crimean:unlike in the USA...
if got such parking lots, then will be easier to park. no need to reverse in. just drive into the lot n park. -
