You are on a city planning commission overseeing the construction of a new one-block stretch of road. there will be parking spaces on both sides of the road, and you need to determine the number of parking spots that will fit on this section of roadway.
the road will be one city block long (0.1 miles). it will be a two-way road with single lanes in each direction. “the space allocated for the road (including parking) is 60 feet wide.” each lane will be 15 feet wide. the parking spaces are to be 16 feet long and 10 feet wide. calculate the number of parking spaces that will fit in this given section of roadway and plan the allocation of spots to optimize the number of parking spots. your work will be efficient if you allow the most room for the parking. how many parking spots will fit on each side of the road for this block?
