Women's parking spaces[edit]

women's stalls, which are much easier to reach

Our article currently says the above supported by a German source. Can someone who understands German see if it explains better what it means? Our article Women's parking spaces suggests the intention of such spaces in Germany is primarily to reduce the distance to the entrance to reduce concern over being attacked. For this reason the parking space may also be monitored etc. This is unlike China where the spaces are supposed to be easier to park in (possibly bigger) which isn't mentioned to be the case for Germany. This may also be suggested by the mention of family parking spaces and courtesy, but that isn't clear (family parking spaces are often bigger I believe similar to disabled ones because of the need for more space around the car, in addition while they are generally closer to the entrance and safety may be a concern another reason is simply to reduce travel time which seems to be the intention in South Korea, but not necessarily in Germany). Since the men's parking spaces here relate to the difficulty parking, 'easier to reach' can easily carry the implication they are designed to be easier to park in, so this shold be clarified if possible.

Hi, I hope I understood your concern and could do away with the misleading passage. Parkhouses in germany are monitored overall, womens lots are close to the entrance, basically they are the equivalent to family parking lots (which do not exist in Germany.
