Parking Simulator · Perpendicular 1

Goal

Get your car (orange) completely inside the yellow dashed space and stop. All four corners must be inside. Touching another car, a wall, a pillar, the curb or a planter ends the run. Nose-in spaces must be entered forward.

Controls

WASD works too. On-screen buttons can be held. Continuous input starts after 0.3 s.

Screen

Your front wheels turn with the steering. The panel on the right (or below) shows the steering angle, Drive (D) / Neutral (N) / Reverse (R), and how much of the car is inside the space. Distances are in feet.

Switches and records

A switch is a change between forward and reverse. Only actual movement counts; turning the wheel does not. Backing straight in counts as 0.

Each stage keeps your best record (fewest switches, then fastest time) in this browser.

Perpendicular parking tips

1. Drive forward a little past the space, keeping to the far side of the aisle.
2. Turn the wheel all the way toward the space and back up.
3. When the car lines up with the space, straighten the wheel and keep backing.
4. If it's off, pull forward a bit to fix the angle and back in again.

Parallel parking tips

1. Drive past the space and stop alongside the car in front of it (or its front end), about 2–3 ft away.
2. Turn the wheel all the way toward the curb and back up until the car is at about 45°.
3. Turn the wheel all the way the other way and keep backing until you are parallel to the curb.
4. In a tight space, move back and forth a little to center the car.
