Some of them are asfollows. <br />A thirty two (32) foot design will accommodate the following: <br />Permits parking on both sides of the street. <br />Permits one lane of traffic at all times. <br />Functions well for all types of vehicles which may use thestreet, including emergency, maintenance, delivery, andschoolbusses. <br />Provides room for bicycle traffic in what is normally theparkinglane. <br />Provides room for pedestrians in what is normally theparkinglane. <br />Allows turning in and out of driveways with less <br />interference from parked vehicles across the street of <br />adjacent to the driveway. <br />Permits turning in and out of driveways by larger vehicles, <br />such as delivery vehicles, boat trailer, RVs, etc. <br />Parking lane can also accommodate delivery vehicles such <br />as mail or paper deliveries.
