1.When there is a car waiting near the two entrances to a parking lot, one should go behind that car and wait until it is their turn. The person in that vehicle has probably been waiting for some time and is surveying the area for open spaces. Be considerate to that driver, because they were there first.
2. Another good rule...be respectful to elders who are in the parking lot. Sometimes they may take a little longer to cross a street or to actually pull into a parking space...it is okay! We can all spare a few extra seconds. Think of how you'd feel if someone honked a horn at your grandmother while she was attempting to cross the street. And horns can shock a senior into
a bad move.
3. Once a space opens up, turn on your signal light to the direction to where the parking space is at to indicate your intentions. The drivers that see this should understand not to take that space.
4. “Reversing into a parking stall is hazardous and holds up traffic,”
5. When a parking space suddenly opens up behind you, don’t back up anymore. Just move on.
6. Stick to the lane you are in and try not to get too greedy with the area you are surveying.
7. Manage time and allow for 30 minutes to an hour on the side for parking.
8. Move within the markings on the pavement. If there are arrows go that direction, if there are lines for traffic use them. Don’t be a row cutter.
9. Take your shopping cart back to the store or shopping cart receptacle, they block spaces, and can roll out of controll and cause serious damage or an accident.
