Download, then fill out, the stack parking form.
Stack parking is a good utilization of space, but there are rules to help cars maneuver in this unique parking option. Think of it as a giant Tetris game. All vehicles – even the first one – must display the stack parking card since, in some situations moving the first vehicle may allow a vehicle to the side to move out.
Parking rules are covered in the Requirements and Policies Manual, and here is an excerpt from section D.3 that covers stack parking:
Stack Parking: Stack Parking spaces are reserved for vehicles that display a Stack Parking card. Movement of a vehicle in Stack Parking may be necessary to accommodate unforeseen circumstances, and to allow for the exit (or entry) of other vehicles parked in Stack Parking.
- Berkeley Lab employees and affiliates who choose to park in Stack Parking spaces must observe the following regulations:
-
All vehicles must display a valid Berkeley Lab parking permit.
-
All vehicles, including the first vehicle in the stack, must display a Stack Parking card with the driver’s contact information. Stack Parking cards are available on request from the Site Access Office or at lbl.gov/resource/parking
-
Park as close as possible to the vehicle, stop line, or barrier in front and/or behind the driver’s vehicle (maintain a less-than-30-inch gap between vehicles).
-
Vehicles must not extend into a red zone or a pedestrian walkway.
-
Drivers must be prepared to respond to requests to move their vehicle within 5 – 10 minutes of the request.
-
Display the approximate time of day that drivers will need to move their car, to better inform those parking nearby.
-
If you use stack parking, please download the form, fill it out, and start using the stack parking card.
