Thanks as always to Jane Street for supporting my channel! https://www.janestreet.com/

Of course, Jane Street do not support casual vandalism. And nor do I! Which is why I was using a whiteboard marker and the ".5" was only temporary.

If you want to read about the official regulations governing parking spaces in Sydney, check out this PDF.

Let me know if you see signs anywhere in the world which promise a number of degrees!

Think Maths has made a free activity about parking angles and trigonometry that teachers can use in classrooms:

CORRECTIONS

- Good spot by TheLongDark: I say 5.38m when the tape measure shows 4.38m. This is because it was only a 5m tape measure so I had to measure 1m first.

- Let me know if you spot any more mistakes!

Thanks again for Jane Street being my principal sponsor.
