People who back into parking spaces

[XocolateThundarr]

Statistically speaking, most parking lot accidents occur when backing out of parking spots. Backing in allows the driver to pull out forward with a better view/less chance of an accident. It's science.

And yes, some extremely large, safety-obsessed companies make it mandatory for all of their lots.

This...and not just their lots either.

theres a special place in hell for people who pull through parking spots. dont mind backing in as long as someone else isnt waiting to get by...

eff you. People who pull through are smart drivers. Why back into oncoming traffic when you don't need to?

i dont know how traffic works in canada but its definitely more dangerous here in the states. more and more parking lots are going to angled parking to prevent this and also the T collision when backing out.

So you were referring to angled over straight initially? Big difference..either way I'm pulling through...then just exit the way I'm supposed to..it's not that difficult...

well, offset parking spots are becoming more of the trend. specifically to prevent pulling through, because its dangerous. the person pulling in doesnt expect a car to appear in the spot theyre whipping into. are you not understanding this? continue to pull through, by all means, im just saying its more dangerous.

i dont design parking lots or roads for a living, but if i did... id make my parking spots look like this-

i would design them so that whoever backs into a spot's vehicle blows the eff up.  dunno how much more expensive those are though

Seems like this type of lot would leave wasted space.  Good luck getting anybody to hire you to design their lot.

Just go over/around stuff.

I went to high school with a guy who drove a car that didn't have a working reverse gear.

I mean talk about unsafe.  Driving backwards?  GTFOOH.

if everyone backed in, most parking lot accidents would take place from people pulling out forward.

No, denied. Parking lot accidents will immediately drop to zero.

it wastes a few feet on both ends, not enough for a full spot anyways. thats why theyre not offset directly in the middle of the spot but towards 1/3 of the spot. people who design these things must be real thinkers, huh?

I know we've had this thread before. I guess we batted around back at the top of the order.

Angled parking is the future

[sys]

i read a really long article analyzing back in drive out parking that made it seem like a good idea.

supposed to use less energy.  because you idle and reverse with an efficient warm engine rather than a gas-guzzling cold engine.


it's mandatory at the site i work (in front of the main building only).  not related to above, supposedly for safety.
