Have you ever cruised through a parking lot and noticed how many vehicles are parked poorly? Sure enough, you're likely to spot a handful of cars violating some parking rules of thumb. Some drivers like to occupy 2 parking stalls, while others will leave their vehicle unattended in no parking zones.
Whatever the case, bad parking is unfortunately found everywhere.
The problem is so common, several websites have been created to display the plethora of bad parking around the world: |

So What if People Park Poorly?
Aside from the obvious feelings of frustration by other drivers, there are other consequences that affect the driving environment of parking facilities. Bad parking:
- Makes it difficult for other drivers to maneuver and find parking themselves
- Can damage the surrounding infrastructure and property within the parking facility
- Shows people are sometimes careless when driving in parking facilities
It's no wonder 1 in 5 accidents occur in parking lots! [According to data from Independent Insurance Agents of America (IIAA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)]. Some don't follow the rules of the road when driving in these areas, putting other drivers as well as pedestrians at risk.
Help People Drive with Caution
Although it is almost impossible to monitor and prevent all drivers from parking poorly, there are solutions available that can help encourage proper driving behavior:
Speed Bumps or Speed Humps

These devices are installed on the road surface to help prevent drivers from speeding in parking lots. Slower speeds mean increased reaction times for drivers in unexpected events. GNR Technologies' recycled rubber speed bumps and speed humps are highly visible, lightweight (easy-to-install), and can be customized to fit the length of any roadway.

These devices help protect the surrounding infrastructure and property in parking facilities. GNR's Park-It Car Stops are low-profile, rubber bumpers designed for durability and visibility. Available in various sizes and colors, these parking blocks are easy-to-install and can be used on any road surface.
