You hear the term 'a cars length' on everything from braking distances to parking space size...does anyone know what is the set legal definition and dimensions of 1 car length is in the UK as defined by national and local Government??
The (widely accepted) recommended minimum length for an on-street parking bay is 5.5m (or 6.5m for a disabled bay). Google 'dimensions parking bay' to find lots of pdf documents on council websites. (The Essex one is particularly detailed).
