Complete chaos: Bizarre car parks cause confusion

A bizarre carpark that has no exit point is just one of many poorly designed lots. Where do you think the worst is?

The Officer IGA car park is poorly designed.

Designing a functioning carpark can be a real head scratcher, but adding an exit to the plan seems like a no-brainer.

For one carpark in Officer in Melbourne, the Eagles may have had it right when they sang “you can check out but you can never leave”.

The car park, attached to the Officer IGA on the corner of Rix Rd and Golden Banksia Dr, has been designed in a loop, but there is no arrow that points to an exit.

According to the picture posted on Reddit, the single lane entry is the only possible exit point for shoppers, which becomes a problem when multiple cars need to enter or leave the shops.

Another pain point for motorists is the Coburg Coles carpark on Gaffney St.

There might be an exit, but you have to snake around the entire carpark, pausing for drivers to reverse park or to wait for other drivers who are going in the complete wrong direction.

Coburg North Coles shopper must snake around the carpark to reach the exit.

If you are only heading into the shops for some milk, you might spend longer getting in and out of the carpark.

The Summerhill Coles carpark in Reservoir also has its fair share of design flaws.

It is very easy to get turned around in the Summerhill Coles carpark.

Motorists can park in the extremely tight carpark after they make their way through the busy roundabout.

The other option would be to avoid that mess and head straight to the underground carpark.

However, this carpark has no entry into the shopping centre.

Drivers must park their car, walk back to where they drove in and then walk a bit further to even get inside.
