      Just let the air out of the tires so they dont have to worry about scraping.

      Also I have a tiny old but tall van, it’s exactly 15 feet long and narrower than most modern compact cars, but it’s over 6 ft tall. It does fit in most parking decks, and never sticks out of the spot.

      They have a steel beam barrier at 6’2" at the entrance to my hospital parking and some broski rams into it every week.

      Agreed, but that’s probably an issue for fire safety. There’s probably some regulation that mandates a minimum height.

        And some vans designed for transporting people with wheelchairs/powerchairs could be blocked out.

          And vans in general, they’ve only gotten taller and taller in recent years. Many look like a good gust of wind’d knock them over.

        I dunno, I’ve met parking garages I couldn’t safely walk through at a modest 6’5"
