A shopping center in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, has built a car park with wider spaces that it says is designed especially to suit women drivers. The women-only car park in Shijiazhuang city is painted in pink and light purple to appeal to female tastes.

    Official Wang Zheng told the AFP news agency the parking garage was meant to cater to women’s “strong sense of color and different sense of distance.” Each parking spot is three meters wide, one meter wider than normal spaces, he said. The Wanxiang-Tiancheng shopping center also “installed signs and security monitoring equipment that corresponded more to women’s needs,” he said.

    Female parking attendants have been trained to guide women drivers into their parking spaces. The shopping center parking lot also provides three lights per parking space to improve visibility for female drivers.

    Driving in China is a dangerous activity, with more than 200 deaths in road accidents each day in 2008, according to police statistics.
