[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Rio Lakefront shopping center” in Gaithersburg, MD is almost as urban as lower Manhattan so I can see why you don’t want Suburbans or F150s there.[/quote]

As I'm sure you know, Rio is pretty darn suburban.

And Suburbans *still* don't fit there.[/quote]

Yep, they don't fit in the parking garage.  Next time I'm there I'm going to take pictures with my phone and post them here for people to see.[/quote]

Don't be ridiculous.  I have a Suburban AND an F150, and I've never been anywhere I couldn't drive or park with either of them.[/quote]

The 2019 Suburban is 224" long and 81" wide - 18.7 ft long, 6.75 ft wide.

A standard perpendicular parking space in Montgomery County is 18 ft long, 8.5' wide.

So no, Suburbans don't fit. They're 2/3 ft longer than the space, and they leave less than a foot on either side of the space. Hope you don't mind climbing in through the back.[/quote]

First of all, those are MINIMUM requirements.  There's nothing "standard" about it, other than all spaces will be AT LEAST that big.  Second, it fits, by your own admission - okay, maybe I hang out a few inches, but really?  How I get in and out of it is my problem now, isn't it? [/quote]

Nope. It's literally the standard.

And nope, it doesn't fit. It's too long.

And while it's your problem how you get in and out of your vehicle - assuming that you don't do any damage to the neighboring vehicles - it's other people's problems

1. how they get in and out of their vehicles that you parked next to, or
2. whether they can use a space next to the space that you parked your Suburban in.[/quote]

I'm not the PP but did you even read your own link?

(b) Each standard size perpendicular parking space shall be a rectangle having [b]minimum dimensions[/b] of 8 ½ feet by 18 feet. A
perpendicular parking space is defined as one in which the long side of the space is a straight line that intersects the travel lane and
curb at a right angle.[/quote]
