A shopping centre in China's Hebei province has built a car park with wider spaces that it says is designed especially to suit women drivers.

Official Wang Zheng told AFP news agency the car park was meant to cater to women's "strong sense of colour and different sense of distance".

The parking bays are one metre (3ft) wider than normal spaces, he said.

The Wanxiang-Tiancheng shopping centre had also "installed signs and security monitoring equipment that corresponded more to women's needs", he said.

The Global Times website says female parking attendants have been trained to help guide women drivers into their parking spaces. The bays also have extra lighting.

What do our resident ladies think? I don't even know how to drive :( .

Some women will go crazy over this. But I guess they made it for a reason. I doubt someone in China was like "Hey, you know what would really piss of woman drivers? Bigger parking spaces."

How? Women are poor drivers on average. If they need wider parking spots, it's not discrimination to give them only to women and not men...

Finally, China understands how bad female drivers are. Insurance companies will be jumping through the roof. Still it won't help them with parallel parking. They'll need to make the parking bays twice as long!

Women are safer drivers. I never said they weren't. But there's a difference between poor driving and unsafe driving. Men undoubtably have more major accidents (and thus are more likely to be killed), but I guarantee you that women own a higher minor accident count... which makes sense considering women have weaker spatial awareness/reasoning. So for that reason, a parking lot with wider spots makes sense.

Men are poorer drivers. Women are poorer parkers. The shopper's centre's decision may seen sexist, but nonetheless it makes sense.

The US had those in the 40s and 50s. Back when car parks were still a new concept, kind of like they are in china. Just wait, soon they will be like us today, and then we will have our revenge.
