Improving Parking Lot Safety

by | Oct 21, 2019

Did you know that one in five vehicle collisions take place in parking lots? Or that 10% of all property crimes take place in parking lots or garages?

The places where we park our vehicles can be surprisingly dangerous for a myriad of reasons that represent a hazard to employees and patrons, and a potential source of liability for property owners and managers.

Fortunately, there are a number of simple best practices that can radically improve the overall safety of local parking lots, including the following:

  • Install signs indicating traffic direction, authorized use, and pedestrian crossings
  • Keep all pavement markings fresh and highly visible, including directional arrows, lanes, parking positions, and pedestrian areas
  • Ensure the area is sufficiently lit, ideally with high intensity, high efficiency LEDs
  • Minimize two way lanes and convert traffic flow to single direction whenever possible
  • Keep your pavement surface smooth and well maintained, limiting vehicle damage from potholes or painful pedestrian trip-and-fall accidents
  • Grade the lot and make sure drainage systems are kept flowing to avoid puddles or ice formation during rough weather
  • Keep lots ice free using deicers and plowing during snowy or icy conditions
  • Consider speed bumps or parking stops to slow and control vehicle motion around your property
