Safer Parking Lots in Shopping Centers |
|

Parking lot safety affects every driver. From schools to hospitals, shopping centers to grocery stores; these facilities are found worldwide. Many of us use them daily, but often, take safety in these areas for granted. Since we are driving at such low speeds, we think accidents are unlikely to occur, and as such, we tend to ignore our safe driving habits. |

In fact, parking facilities are one of the likeliest places for fender benders to occur. |

|
1 out of 5 accidents occur in parking lots! |

According to data from Independent Insurance Agents of America (IIAA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). |

Why? Various factors contribute to the sometimes hectic and chaotic environment in parking facilities: |
|
|
|
 |
- There are unpredictable traffic patterns, high amounts of traffic with high turnover rates
- Drivers are fighting for parking spaces, ignoring traffic signs, and cutting through lanes and parking stalls
- There are no pedestrian walkways forcing individuals to walk in traffic lanes and weave in and out of vehicles, often with small children following behind
- Shopping carts or other stray objects create dangerous obstacles for drivers
|

During holiday seasons, these conditions further escalate, deterring even the most patient drivers. With the high levels of activity and traffic in parking lots, both drivers and pedestrians are at risk. |

Parking lot accidents not only affect drivers and pedestrians, but property owners as well. These facilities are often located on private property and thus not patrolled by public officials. As such, many drivers are not inclined to follow and obey traffic signs or signals. This affects owners and managers who now have a difficult task of enforcing safe driving behavior. If adequate traffic control is not implemented, they can be held accountable for some accidents that do occur. |

How Can Accidents be Prevented to Ensure Driver / Pedestrian Safety? |
|
|
| * |
|
Various solutions are available that can help reduce the number of accidents in parking facilities and ensure both driver and pedestrian safety. Physical measures that force drivers to reduce speeds are more effective than solutions geared towards prompting awareness, such as traffic signs or signals. |
