Parking Lot Safety Solutions
|
Parking structures are universal and can be found
worldwide. From schools to hospitals, shopping
centers to grocery stores; Many of us use them
daily, but often, take safety in these areas for granted.
Since we are driving at such low speeds, we think accidents
are unlikely to occur, and as such, we tend to forget our
safe driving habits.
In fact, parking facilities are the one of the likeliest
places for fender benders to occur. 1 out of 5
accidents occur in your parking lots! (According to data
from Independent Insurance Agents of America and Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety)
With the high levels of activity and traffic in
parking lots, both drivers and pedestrians are at risk.
These facilities, whether public or privately owned,
must ensure adequate measures are taken to prevent automobile
accidents. The larger the size lot, the more measures are
needed to guide traffic and pedestrians safely. Parking
lots, often located on private property, are not patrolled
by public officials. Many drivers are thus not inclined
to follow and obey traffic signs or signals. This affects
property owners and managers who now have a difficult task
of enforcing safe driving behavior. If adequate traffic
control is not implemented, they can be held accountable
for some accidents that do occur.
Our products were specifically designed to address speeding
and dangerous driving behavior in parking facilities. Our
highly-visible devices, such as the Easy Rider Speed Bump
and Safety Rider Mini Hump, force drivers to travel at minimum
speeds. Awareness and reaction time increases, helping to
reduce the risk of potential accidents for both drivers
and pedestrians.

Traditional
speed bumps, speed humps, and car stops are made of
concrete or asphalt materials. These devices pose
several disadvantages:”)
- Break, crack and chip = high replacement costs
- Causes damage to vehicles
- Not highly visible
- Speed bumps and speed humps are permanently installed
on the road surface; they cannot be moved
or relocated easily without extended road closures
- High labor costs for installation
- Car stops are heavy and may require high freight
costs depending on shipping location

Even
new solutions to the market, such as plastic parking
curbs or speed bumps,
have their own disadvantages:
- Products warp and break
- Cannot be installed on un-even road surfaces
- Product colors fade
- Not very durable
