Women's parking spaces are specially designated and identified parking spaces in parking garages and parking lots to be used by women. They are usually near exits to increase the safety of women, to facilitate the act of parking, or to facilitate walking to shopping or employment destinations. ==Germany== In contrast to disabled parking spaces, women's parking spaces are not designated in the German road traffic code (''Straßenverkehrsordnung'') and are therefore only allowed in private parking areas. However, as landlord, the operator of the parking facility can insist that these spaces be used only by women as long as it is not claimed that the parking facility falls under the rules of the federal road traffic code. In some German states, women's parking spaces are provided for under garage regulations. For example, the garage regulations of North Rhine-Westphalia and Schleswig-Holstein state that women's parking places: *must be marked as such *should be near the facility entrance *must be monitored by a security guard or by video surveillance *must be near an installed burglar alarm In the garage regulation of Baden-Württemberg, at least 10% of all spaces in large garages must be reserved for women.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=§ 4 GaVO Stellplätze und Fahrgassen, Frauenparkplätze - dejure.org )〕 The garage regulation of Brandenburg stipulates that at least 30% of spaces must be for women.〔(Brandenburg Garage and Parking Regulation ''(Brandenburgische Garagen- und Stellplatzverordnung- BbgGStV)'' ) from October 12, 1994, last changed March 23, 2005 , § 5 (2)〕 The German Federal Anti-Discrimination Agency stated on their website that the establishment of women's parking spaces does not violate the General Equal Treatment Act (''Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz''), because women are more likely than men to be victims of sexual abuse. According to the Hessian State Office of Criminal Investigation, the furnishing of women's parking spaces is an ideal means of raising women's feelings of safety. However, according to federal criminal statistics published by the German police, molestation and attacks on women occur no more often in parking garages than in other places. In Hesse, in 2003, only one of 1000 crimes in parking garages was sexual in nature.〔(Report on the safety of parking garages in police criminal statistics. )〕 A small town in southern Germany, Triberg introduced the antonym, the globally first men's parking spaces in 2012 and caused a major media hype. The two Triberg slots are based on a technical peculiarity, since the slots in question are much more difficult to maneuver into than normal spaces.〔''Focus Online'': (''Deutschlands erste Männerparkplätze: Ist das sexistisch? Hier rangieren nur echte Kerle'' ), abgerufen am 15. Juli 2012.〕 The mayor of Triberg even explained that women would have difficulty parking there since the spaces require male drivers to back in diagonally without crashing into walls and a pillar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=German mayor defends 'men only' parking spaces )〕 In fact, the mayor's exact words were, "But many also cannot park, like my secretary. Five times she tried and no success.” 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=There Are "Women Only" Parking Spots In China That Are Extra-Wide And Pink )〕 On a final note, to add a comical touch, these men-only parking spaces were even marked with "Mars" symbols.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=China’s Pink Women-Only Parking Spots Spark a Backlash )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Women's parking space」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
