flag Australian parking spaces are too small for larger modern trucks, prompting calls to update standards.

flag In Australia, standard parking spaces measuring 5.4 meters long by 2.4 to 2.6 meters wide, set in 1993 for older vehicles, are being challenged by modern, larger US-made pickup trucks like the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado HD, which often exceed 6 meters in length and 3,700 kg in weight. flag These vehicles struggle to fit in existing spaces, prompting officials to consider updating parking standards. flag While car park ceilings remain around 2 meters, risks from inaccurate signage and overhead obstructions persist. flag Heavier vehicles are also prompting structural reviews of multi-storey parking facilities. flag Though no changes have been implemented, the need for updated dimensions is growing due to evolving vehicle sizes.
