Watch for 2-Way Traffic We have been working with the City of Tigard Streets team to allow traffic flow that matches the ways drivers use the parking lot. The Streets team determined that the parking lot is wide enough to accommodate flow of traffic in two directions. Tigard’s Development Code 18.410-4, states that off-street parking with 90 degree parking stalls requires a minimum aisle width of 20 feet for 2-way traffic. The Library parking lot has a 24 foot aisle width, which allows ample room to maneuver. The biggest factor in parking lot safety is drivers moving slowly, so drive safely and watch out for your fellow motorists and pedestrians.
