Having orderly parking usually requires the use of car park and traffic flow management devices in order to ensure that there is a manageable area for the movement of cars within a parking lot. Although it may not seem like it, a lot of small accidents occur within car parks simply because there is poor placement of painting and not enough visible traffic fixtures to enable easy navigation within the car park. Strategically located traffic fixtures have the benefit of allowing drivers to turn and park securely in the spaces delineated while at the same time controlling the flow of traffic in and out of the lot so as to not make the interior too congested for safe turning.
Safety is a Key Concern with Car Park and Traffic Flow
Having clearly visible signs and fixtures allows for drivers to navigate confined multi storey parking area successfully without leading to damage of their own vehicle nor the vehicles that are otherwise parked in the parking lot. In a car park, the flow of traffic changes throughout the day, depending on when the most amount of vehicles are entering or leaving the compound. Ramps provide simple yet efficient ways of controlling entry speed into a car park, limiting the velocity with which vehicles can approach parking locations, thereby limiting the potential damage to other vehicles in the area. Car Park barriers and parking posts can be used to cordon off areas where no traffic is allowed or to mark out the location of parking spots that are approved by the administration. Flow plates and safety mirrors represent methods of traffic control that can be used to reduce congestion by only allowing a single direction of traffic flow during certain hours.
Retail locations that have parking that is adjacent to their buildings can benefit from the installation of impact protectors to prevent damage to their building's front face. Shipping departments can utilise loading docks to make the loading and unloading of cargo that much easier. In public areas where traffic flow can be dangerous to either workers or other customers, these fixtures enable a safer operating environment for everyone.
