Abstract
This paper (1) summarizes previous human factors/safety research on parking (8 studies, mostly over 20 years old), (2) provides statistics for 10,400 parking-related crashes in Michigan from 2000-2002, and (3) summarizes interviews with 6 insurance agents concerning parking crashes.
These sources indicate:
-
1
About 1/2 to 3/4 of parking crashes involve backing, often into another moving vehicle while emerging from a parking stall.
-
2
Eight-and-a-half foot-wide stalls had higher crash rates than wider stalls.
-
3
Most parallel parking crashes occur on major streets, not minor streets.
-
4
Lighting and driver impairment were minor factors in parking crashes.
