People call for ‘genius’ car park feature to be used everywhere

A car park has gone viral after people called for its 'genius' feature to be introduced everywhere.

Located in Australia, the car park offers an extra feature to drivers - and it's perfect for those who hate parking, or people who have lots of stuff to unload.

It's also ideal for parents who have to navigate the difficulties of taking out car seats - especially when all the parent and child spaces have been taken up.

Glebe Hill shopping centre in Tasmania has made parking so much easier for its visitors after introducing extra gaps between each space.

It might look like any other car park, but if you look closely you'll notice that on either side of each space, there's a rectangular box. This increases the spaces between cars and also gives extra space to get in and out of the vehicle.

While the extra spots probably mean fewer cars in the car park, it's certainly worth it for the extra manoeuvring space.

A driver wrote on the Tasmania Parking Fails Facebook group: "All car parks should adopt this method for line markings.

"(It) gives you a level of confidence when parking here that it is fairly unlikely that you will get a ding in your door whilst shopping.

"I realise that it doesn't absolutely guarantee that damage won't occur, but it is most likely 95 percent effective.

"Not too many parking fails seem to happen here because the double lines have the effect of creating more accurate parking.

"Supermarket car parks are renowned for a high degree of car damage but not so here."

Many agreed, with one person writing: “All car parks should adopt this method for line markings.”

While another said: “The best designed car park I have ever been to."

“About time someone had common sense and created a safe zone for our cars. Congratulations to the those who created the idea and made it happen," another added.

While a fourth commented: “Absolutely elite parking experience here there’s no denying it."

“All places need it, can hardly get your kids out of the car with the way they are now,” said a parent.

According to Motor Point, over a third of motorists believe car parking spaces are getting smaller, while 7.5 million drivers struggle to park as spaces are 'too tight'.

Added to that, almost a quarter would choose to park further from their destination rather than park between two cars.
