A parking lot is 180 feet wide a crew paints three white lines to divide the lot into equal lanes how wide is each lane?
60 feet wide (180/3)=60 The 60' will actually consist of a two-way traffic lane AND parking perpendicular to the lane on both sides... So the 60' is further divided into an 18' deep parking space, a 24' wide vehicle lane, and another 18' deep parking space. If you have angled parking or one way traffic lanes, you can reduce the 60' width. This is called a double loaded lane (parking on both sides) and is the most efficient use of space for a parking lot and vehicle circulation space.
When driving a slow moving vehicle on a two lane highway when should you pull over?
ONLY when there's a wide shoulder or a parking lot, and the highway is straight and not near a curve straight ahead.
Who is at fault in a collision between a car on the roadway and one exiting a parking lot?
This did happen to me and I was the exiting the parking lot. I had already crossed one lane of traffic and was hit on the driver's side front fender by a car in the second lane. I was ruled "at fault" because I entered the other driver's lane of travel.
What is the width of one road lane?
It depends on what type of road or parking area the lane is in. I remember working for an Architect who did a lot of bank work, which have drive-thru lanes. The width of the lane at the outdoor teller station was either 7' or 8' wide, depending upon the preference of the owner. It also depends on any turns, too. If you have a tight turn, you need a wide mouth at the turn. Refer to Federal Highway Standards.
Who is at fault when a person is pulling out of a parking spot and going slowly using caution and a car traveling the parking lot collide?
A vehicle traveling in a parking lot has established use of the lane and the right of way. A vehicle in a parking space and backing into the lane must yield to oncoming traffic. Therefore, if a vehicle is backing out of a parking space and pulls into the path of an oncoming vehicle that has already established the lane, the vehicle backing would be at fault for the accident. However, if the vehicle which established use of the lane had an opportunity to avoid hitting the vehicle backing out of the space and failed to do so, there could be comparative negligence on both vehicles or on the one who had the opportunity to avoid the accident.
Do you turn into the left lane when turning left?
Yes, always take the nearest lane. Someone turning right or a pedestrian can jump out. Change lanes if needed after the turn. It's both safer & the law. Most importantly, other drivers will assume you are taking the near lane & jump into the other one.
Do you use a parking lane to initiate a right turn?
No, you do not initiate a right turn from a parking lane. Parking lanes are not intended to be used as traffic lanes. To initiate a right turn, you should be in the farthest right traffic lane.

I do not feel the the son was at faught because If the tale-end of the car was totally out into the intersection the other driver was to yield to him, especially if passing the son driver was going to cause the driver to go into another lane.
A parking lot is 272.5 feet long and 151.25 feet wide. How much longer is the lot than it is wide?
basically subtract the length of the longer side (272.5) by the wide side (151.25) 272.5 - 151.25 = 121.25
