The facility features wide driving lanes, bright energy-efficient illumination, and color-coded interior decks for straightforward navigation. Standard passenger cars, compact vehicles, crossovers, and full-size SUVs can comfortably maneuver and park within the garage. Drivers should note the posted vertical clearance limit of 6 feet 10 inches (2.08 meters), which accommodates standard passenger autos and stock utility vehicles while excluding high-roof commercial vans and lifted trucks.
