90-degree parking
Fits the most cars per square foot on wide lots and allows two-way aisles. The tradeoff is harder backing out and wider aisles.
60- and 45-degree parking
Angled stalls are easier to pull into and work with narrower one-way aisles. They're often the best choice for long, narrow lots.
How to decide
Consider these questions:
- Is the lot wide enough for a 24-foot two-way aisle?
- Do you want one-way traffic flow?
- Are drivers mostly quick-turnover customers or all-day staff?

Are angled stalls safer?
They can reduce backing conflicts because drivers see traffic better when pulling out.
Can you draw both options for me?
Yes. We can sketch alternatives with stall counts before you decide.
