Abstract:Single family homes, cul de sacs, spacious garages, wide streets, etc. are among the typical features of suburban developments across the United States. Despite the abundant parking spaces available on the premises (inside garages or in driveways), many residents become accustomed to parking on the streets, a common practice that barely raises any questions from residents or policy makers. This report challenges this phenomenon, asking why street parking is required by most local governments in new subdivisions, especially given that the minimum parking standard for residential developments is widely adopted.
