A city in South Korea has introduced new wider parking spaces in an effort to make itself more ‘female friendly’.
The Seoul Metropolitan Government recently announced an ambitious $95 million plan to make the country’s capital safer, more comfortable and more welcoming for women. However, one part of the plan involved the introduction of “lady-friendly parking”, which will see the spaces painted pink with emblems of women in the centre”.
While they are designated to be better lit and closer to entrances and elevators, Car Buzz says that the special parking lots endorse old stereotypes about female drivers by being “longer and wider than normal parking spaces”.
