between 20 and 24 feet wide Double car driveways can be between 20 and 24 feet wide. A driveway width of 20 feet provides enough space for two cars to pass, but not quite enough room for parking side-by-side and opening doors. If you need space for parking two cars, consider making your driveway 24 feet wide.

Learn More »If your driveway has or will have walls along it, you'll need a buffer zone of a foot or two on each side. Such a buffer zone will prevent car doors from banging into the wall and getting damaged. This extra space can be paved or unpaved, depending on your preference and budget. Many cities have codes that limit the width of driveway openings, so make sure your landscape designer is aware of these. Even if your city only allows a 14 foot opening, your driveway can widen into whatever width is necessary. For example, many homeowners opt for a driveway that begins at a single car width, but widens into a double car width near the garage. The total length of a driveway is completely based on your property's needs. For example, your home may only be twenty feet off the street, or it may be a quarter of a mile away. However, length does come into play when considering adding parking or a turn around to your driveway. At a minimum, parking stalls require 10 feet of width and 20 feet of length. A turn-around should provide just enough space for a car to back into and pull out of in drive. The typical dimensions for a turn-around are 10 feet by 20 feet. However, sometimes the full 20 feet of back-up space is not required and can be reduced. But then the turn-around cannot double as a parking space.
