China Creates ‘Women Only’ Car Park, With Wider Parking Bays

A women-only car park has been build in a shopping center offering wider spaces designed specifically to accommodate women drivers.

If that isn’t enough, the women-only car park in Shijiazhuang city is also painted in pink and light purple to appeal to female tastes.

Official Wang Zheng said the car park was meant to cater to women’s “strong sense of colour and different sense of distance.”

The parking bays are one metre (3ft) wider than normal spaces, he said.

The Wanxiang-Tiancheng shopping center had also “installed signs and security monitoring equipment that corresponded more to women’s needs,” he adds.

Female parking attendants have been trained to help guide women drivers into their parking spaces. The bays also have extra lighting for safety.
