    Angle Park Area

    This document discusses angle parking and the conditions required for its implementation. Angle parking allows for more parking spaces on streets by angling the spaces rather than using parallel parking. It can increase parking capacity by 60% for 45 degree parking on one-way streets over 38 feet wide and nearly double capacity for 60 degree parking on one-way streets over 41 feet wide. A pilot project tested "reverse" angle parking where drivers back into spaces. The key conditions that must be met are daily traffic volumes under 1,000, sufficient roadway width, no negative impacts to neighborhood access, and clear sight distances. A request from the community is needed and requires 70% approval to implement angle parking.

    Process

    Angle Parking
    Angle Parking is a
    tool to increase the supply of onstreet parking on roadways satisfying certain conditions.

    45 Degree
    Forty-Five Degree Parking
    is used on one way streets when roadways are 38 to 40 feet wide. Under ideal conditions (no breaks for driveways, alleys, fire hydrants, etc.) a 60% increase in the number of spaces can be achieved as compared to parallel parking.

    60 Degree
    Sixty degree parking
    provides a higher number of parking spaces and is used on one-way streets with 41-foot widths (or greater). Under ideal conditions, 60 degree parking nearly doubles the number of spaces as compared with parallel parking.

    Reverse Angle Parking


    A Pilot Project of
    Reverse angle parking was installed on Chestnut Avenue in Hampden in November of 2006. Spaces are angled to facilitate motorists backing into spaces. This increases visibility when motorists are exiting spaces.

    Conditions
    Traffic Volumes Candidate streets should have less than
    1000 vehicles per day (24 hour volume). Higher volumes increase the potential for cars exiting the angle spaces. Roadway width Streets must be wide enough so that parallel parking can be maintained on one side while angle parking is implemented on the other. There must also be a buffer area so that motorists can begin exiting parking spaces without encroaching on the traffic lane. For a one way street this minimum width is 38 feet. Neighborhood access Many candidate streets are initially 2-way and must be converted to one way in preparation for installation of angle parking. Elimination of one direction of travel must not compromise local traffic circulation or bus routes. Safe Sight Distance Candidate roadways must have clear sight distance so motorists can see parked vehicles well in advance.

    How do I get Angle Parking installed on my Street?


    A written request must be submitted to the Department of Transportation
    (DOT) or the Parking Authority for Baltimore City (PABC). DOT then conducts an investigation to determine if the 4 aforementioned conditions are met, and advises PABC accordingly. PABC works with the requesting organization to have a petition circulated to establish consensus for the street direction (when one-way conversion is necessary) as well as for the angle parking installation. PABC validates the petition and if representatives of 70% of the households indicate approval, a request is sent to DOT for implementation. schedules the installation. The installation must be done in warm weather on a dry day in order for the markings material to adhere. On the day of installation, parking must be prohibited to provide room to apply the markings.

    DOT prepares pavement markings plans and work orders for signs and
