§ 9162.7. Driveway Access and Traffic Sight Clearance - OnSite Automobile and Truck…

The minimum maneuvering area for trucks sideloading, parking or stacking is eighteen (18) feet for single-body trucks and thirty-six (36) feet for double-body trucks. The minimum maneuvering area for trucks rearloading, parking or stacking is thirty-three (33) feet for single body trucks and forty-four (44) feet for double body trucks. The turning area required to maneuver a truck constitutes the total maneuvering area. The minimum maneuvering area for standard and compact automobiles is set forth in CMC § 9162.51 , "Standards for Automobile Parking Lot Design." The minimum maneuvering area for automobiles parallel parking is six (6) feet. For both automobiles and trucks, neither the maneuvering or loading facilities nor parking and stacking spaces are permitted in a building or public right-of-way; provided, however, that loading docks and wells may be located within a building. All maneuvering areas shall be open and unobstructed. Maneuvering areas may serve dual purposes in terms of providing the required maneuvering area for more than one (1) truck, more than one (1) automobile, or a combination of trucks and automobiles. However, any maneuvering area that serves more than one (1) user is required to meet the most restrictive maneuvering standards for the type of truck or automobile involved. Where more than one (1) truck stacking space is provided parallel to another, no maneuvering area is required to be provided other than that adjacent to the first space in the line.
