Sawtooth Bus Parking dimensions

Sawtooth Bus Parking dimensions

Sawtooth Bus Parking dimensions

(OP)
I am looking for information on the curb to curb width for different angles of sawtooth bus parking.  Specifically 40 and 45 degrees.  A typical 40 foot bus length is to be used.

If any one could point me to a resource or give me some numbers I would greatly appreciate it.  Thanks.

RE: Sawtooth Bus Parking dimensions

I checked my references and didn't find anything for angle parking of large vehicles (trucks and buses).  I would not try to accomodate angle parking of buses on two sides of a center aisle where they drive in and back out.  The aisle would have to be huge because of the length of the buses.  Instead use a drive thru type of parking, where they vehicles are always foing forward.  Use the turning templates suggested by CarlB to layout the design.
