Not everyone likes the proliferation of back-in angle parking in St. Louis, but the city is committed
An abundance of wide streets is one of the reasons driving St. Louis traffic planners to add more back-in angle parking in the city. However, it is causing anxiety among some drivers who dislike the practice, and some go out of their way to park elsewhere.
The city cites more efficient use of public space and traffic calming as reasons to stripe more than 500 spaces across the city in recent years. It's also generally safer to back in to a space rather than back out. Businesses generally like them as well, due to the fact that more parking is created than typical parallel spaces. So, despite anxiety from some drivers, back-in angles parking appears here to stay in St. Louis.
