Coordinating carports and landscape shelters

Parking and landscaped rest areas can be planned on one site, but vehicle movement and places where people stay need clear separation. Define each use before coordinating their appearance.

A shared style does not mean shared circulation

Mark parking, walking and seating areas on one plan so the canopy relates clearly to each. Do not insert benches or landscape features into vehicle routes merely to suit a visual composition.

  • Are rest areas separate from parking bays?
  • Which pedestrian areas do arriving and departing vehicles cross?
