To find out how long each parking space should be, we first need to convert the length of the road from kilometers to meters.
1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, so:
\[
0.264 \text{ km} = 0.264 \times 1000 = 264 \text{ meters}
\]
Now we need to divide the total length of the parking area (264 meters) by the number of parking spaces (60) to find the length of each parking space:
\[
\text{Length of each parking space} = \frac{264 \text{ meters}}{60} = 4.4 \text{ meters}
\]
Therefore, each parking space should be **4.4 meters long**.
