The typical size of a parallel parking spot in the United States is about 22 to 26 feet (6.7 to 7.9 meters) in length and approximately 8 to 8.6 feet (2.4 to 2.6 meters) in width. More specifically:

• The standard length is usually around 22 feet (6.7 meters) minimum, with some spaces extending up to 26 feet to allow easier maneuvering

• The width is generally about 8 to 8.6 feet (2.4 to 2.6 meters)

• Compact car parallel parking spaces may be smaller, around 20 feet long and 7 feet wide

These dimensions provide enough room for most cars to park parallel to the curb while allowing space to maneuver in and out safely. Local regulations and city-specific standards may vary slightly, but these figures represent the common range used in many U.S. cities
