Back-in angle parking along Council Street in Frederick, Maryland, USA Back-in angle parking in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Back-in angle parking, also called back-in diagonal parking, reverse angle parking, reverse diagonal parking, or (in the United Kingdom) reverse echelon parking, is a traffic engineering technique intended to improve the safety of on-street parking.
Angle parking along the Southsea seafront, England. Angle parking, known as echelon parking in Britain, is similar to perpendicular parking for these vehicles, except that cars are arranged at an angle to the aisle (an acute angle with the direction of approach). The gentler turn allows easier and quicker parking, narrower aisles, and thus ...
A 30 feet (9 metres) area was cleared and levelled on either side of the perimeter track. Class A specifications for taxiways set a minimum curve radius of 150 feet (46 metres) measured from the centreline for angles greater than 60 degrees and 200 feet (61 metres) for angles less than 60 degrees. Perimeter track gradients could not exceed 1-in ...

Diagram showing the path of a driver performing a U-turn.A vehicle with a smaller turning diameter will be able to perform a sharper U-turn. The turning radius (alternatively, turning diameter or turning circle) of a vehicle defines the minimum dimension (typically the radius or diameter) of available space required for that vehicle to make a semi-circular U-turn without skidding.

Approach (α) and departure angle (β) of a vehicle. Approach angle is the maximum angle of a ramp onto which a vehicle can climb from a horizontal plane without interference. [1] It is defined as the angle between the ground and the line drawn between the front tire and the lowest-hanging part of the vehicle at the front overhang.
