Parking lot systems

A parking lot system comprising:

• a first driveway extending in a first one-way direction of travel, the first driveway comprising a first plurality of angled parking spaces positioned on one side of the first driveway, wherein each parking space of the first plurality of angled parking spaces forms a first rectangular space formed by lines on one or more sides and sized to accommodate an automobile, the first rectangular space at least partially defined by a first side, a second side and a third side, wherein the first and second sides are parallel;
• a second driveway extending in a second one-way direction of travel that is opposite to the first one-way direction, the second driveway comprising a second plurality of angled parking spaces positioned on a side of the second driveway closest to the first driveway, wherein each parking space of the second plurality of angled parking spaces forms a second rectangular space formed by lines on one or more sides and sized to accommodate an automobile, the second rectangular space is at least partially defined by a first side, a second side and a third side, wherein the first and second sides of the second rectangular space are parallel;
• a plurality of buffer zones, wherein a perimeter of each of the plurality of buffer zones is formed by a portion of the first and second plurality of angled parking spaces such that the each of the plurality of buffer zones is surrounded on all sides by the first and second plurality of angled parking spaces, and wherein a car in one of the first plurality of angled parking spaces is positioned relative to one of the plurality of buffer zones such that its passenger door opens into the buffer zone and a car in an adjacent parking space of the second plurality of angled parking spaces also has its passenger door open into the buffer zone;
• and
• wherein the first plurality of parking spaces and the second plurality of parking spaces at least partially abut one another directly.

A parking lot system comprising:

• a first one-way driveway in a first direction, the first driveway comprising a first plurality of angled parking spaces on one side, wherein each parking space of the first plurality of angled parking spaces comprises a first rectangular space formed by lines and sized to accommodate an automobile;
• a second one-way driveway in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction and the second one-way driveway is adjacent to the first one-way driveway and separated by a parking area, the second driveway comprising a second plurality of angled parking spaces on one side closest to the first driveway, wherein the first plurality of angled parking spaces and the second plurality of angled parking spaces are positioned between the first one-way driveway in the second driveway, wherein each parking space of the second plurality of angled parking spaces comprises a second rectangular space formed by lines and sized to accommodate an automobile;
• and
• a buffer zone positioned between the first plurality of angled parking spaces and the second plurality of angled parking spaces, the buffer zone comprising a gap in a zig-zag pattern that extends along a length of the first and second plurality of angled parking spaces, the gap sized to form a pedestrian walkway between the first plurality of angled parking spaces and the second plurality of angled parking spaces, the gap further sized for receiving a door from an automobile positioned in any of the first and second plurality of angled parking spaces.
