Taking just two spaces fore/aft is not enough space for most rigs
especially enclosed trailers. Rigs with enclosed trailers are approx up
to 45-50' long combined and you need ample room to unload/load car off
the trailer. Also, most parking spaces these days are non-amercian car
width which is barely enough room for a motorcycle.
