We moved (when I was a teenager) into a real two-family house. With 2 equally sized apartments one above the other and an external staircase. However, in the concrete ceiling between the apartments there is a stairwell opening, so the apartments could also be connected internally quite easily. However, through the closed-off opening you can already hear the people in the upper apartment more than would otherwise be the case.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s :) Missss Golightly ! ! !
The family car (later bus) will rather be on the left side and will always be parked facing forwards. I am absolutely terrible at backing in. Whether the ramp will be on the side or at the back, I don’t know.
Side entrances are more common when the wheelchair user is the driver, who can sit in a normal car seat: then a device for loading the folding wheelchair swings out sideways. If the wheelchair user is a passenger and remains in the wheelchair during the journey, or if it is an electric wheelchair to be taken along, lifts or ramps at the rear are common. In public road space, side exiting beside a lane is not enjoyable either, and two lifts or ramps are rarely installed. I therefore assume that in the garage on the side of the family bus, "length" will be used for getting in and out; and a passage door is conveniently located at the end where this takes place. Turntables like in railway depots are unfortunately missing in garages: whoever drives in that way drives out the other way ;-)
