Here are a few more tips to keep you parking-lot safe!

  • Follow signs: obey the parking lot's traffic rules, including stop signs, speed limits, and one-way arrows.
  • Be careful and courteous. Be careful when opening your car door so that you don't hit the car parked next to you.
  • When turning into a space, watch for clues, like brake lights or exhaust smoke, that another vehicle may be backing out.
  • Use your directional signal when turning into a space. · Keep windows open a crack so you can hear cars that you might not see.
  • Slow down at speed bumps.
  • Avoid parking near visual obstructions such as shrubs, walls, and signs. It may be difficult to see around these obstructions when backing or pulling out of your space.
