Park Only Facing Wall

[rlp1099]

what reasons should a mall recquire you to park facing wall?

there are times its best to enter parking slot backing up since you can manuever safely that way or you can get out easily later...

Gateway and Alimall recquires you park that way....

i've racked my mensa accredited brain for the reason why pero.....0, zilch . nada

[BlueBimmer]

labo pero maybe iwas congestion cos of tight space? la rin ako maisip

[nugundam93]

hmmm...para you don't hit the wall kasi it is definitely easier to park facing the wall than back up into a wall, na pwede mong maatrasan kapag nagkamali ka, thus giving the mall a reason to say "i told you so" in case you do back up and hit the wall?

personally though, i like backing up into the parking slot...mas madaling lumabas afterwards eh. :D

sir, i think the purpose is so that there will be minimal soot that will be accumulated on the walls that will be coming from the exhausts of the vehicles.

ganyan din policy ng mga gas stations with tables for quick snacks outside. para d mabugahan ng usok mga kumakain.

IMO...

- if your exhaust is near a wall, exhaust fumes can easily build up and concentrate in that location only

- for most vehicles (cept pickups & full-size SUVs), the front overhang is longer than the rear. so parking facing the wall will maximize the parking space available (not to mention that access to the boot / trunk is easier)

I thought it was more for safety reasons since the backup lights of your car could readily be seen if you park facing the wall. I thought most covered parking lots have ventilators to take care of the exhaust fumes. Bawal din kasi to keep the engine running once you've already parked your car---at least here in power plant.

i agree with quindoyos.. para di dumumi ung white walls nila with the smoke comin out from the exhaust system..

Galleria also requires cars to be parked facing the wall. Ewan lang kung laging nasusunod 'to. Minsan mahirap mag-park ng ganito if the wall is parallel to the path papuntang exit. Aatras ka pa, tapos maghihintay ka ng mabait na driver na pasisingitin ka habang umaatras.

Pero when parking in front of a restaurant, dapat laging facing forward, kahit may glass window between your car's rear end and the tables inside. Para courtesy na lang sa mga kumakain, 'di ba?

for me masmadali mag park ng paatras

this is the correct reason. this was explained to me by our building admin, i used to get a lot of love letters for parking the other way

whenever i can, i park backwards, maybe nasanay na lang ako but i find it easier. exception is when i go to the grocery, mahirap mag load pag nakatalikod and baka tumama pa yung cart sa gilid ng car ko

agree. ;)

FORD and GM both recommend you back into parking spaces with their full-size SUV's because that is the only practical way to park them in confines space.

I don't think fumes on the wall would be a problem, though, because the exhaust pipe faces sideways.

salamat sa mga replies

I was going to reply to the "most heated" thread sa forums pero in the long run sabi ko that device will go the way of Zagu, Shawarma and Rice in a Box

yup smoke from tail pie causing dirt on walls , back up lights to alert in coming traffic when coming out from your slot etc.

seems logical nga

backing up the wall...well there's a cement barrier/hump para may allowance ka so you won't hit the wall and space for you to open trunk (most malls puwede 'to)

in the case of Ali Mall and Gateway mukhang preventive lang
so their wall won't get dirty

And isa pang dahilan, mas mababa ang headroom ng front hooded vehicles. Minsan may mga mabababang pipes or vent housing na posibleng tamaan kung paatras lalo na sa matataas na sasakyan.

...yup, parking backward or with the rear against the small hump or a wall would be a burden for bagboys loading up the grocery in your trunk. parang sa makati supermart in alabang (sounds weird huh), ang hilig nilang magpark na nakatalikod tapos makikita mo yung mga grocery tumatama sa side ng oto para ikarga sa trunk. worse kung pilitin isikisk yung cart sa gilid para malapit sa trunk.

[wowiesy]

natuto na ako dyan (but nevertheless eh i still always park back first)...

may seminar ako nun sa AIM (makati) and had to park in their basement parking... medyo masikip, at may mga ducting ng aircon nila... so dapat talaga front first para tama lang sa hood, may clearance pa in relation to the ducting... eh ang anga anga ko... inuna ko likod.. pickup ang dala ko with carry boy... atras sige... naramdaman ko parang kumontra na... silip ako sa side mirror... kita ko malayo pa naman... atras pa sige.... next i heard may basag.. nakoh... tigil na ako... baba ng sasakyan... sinilip ko sa likod.. ayon... yung rear glass window ng carry boy basag... napwersa na pala sa ducting ng aircon nila.... di na ako nag reklamo sa AIM.. katangahan ko rin naman eh...

[wrecker]

dati nabaliko yung antenna ko dahil sa ducting, kaya ngayon retract muna bago mag park

[pissword]

kahit sa SM manila eh park facing the wall din... pero dun logical kasi diagonal ang parking

[zechs]

ako naman i park facing the wall, sometimes even if the parking bldg (or whatever) doesnt require it. kasi ang tendency ng mga tao, is when they park backwards..they will park all the way. meaning, hihintaytin nila tumama yung rear wheel nila and then stop backing up. ung bang pasok na pasok sila sa parking slot. ang sa akin lang is safety na rin..so i think mas ok na park facing the wall, kasi you tend not to park all the way thru, kasi baka tumama yung engine brace mo or something else, so yung backside of your car is well-seen with others. para alam ng mga ibang tao kung meron pang slots available or not.
