Parking lots may seem like safe spaces due to reduced speeds, but they are common sites for vehicle accidents. Collisions in parking lots often occur due to driver inattention, failure to yield, or limited visibility. These accidents can still result in injuries, particularly to pedestrians and cyclists in the area.
Drivers are urged to exercise caution in parking lots by reducing speed, staying alert, and checking for pedestrians or other vehicles before maneuvering. Attention to surroundings can significantly reduce the risk of accidents in these settings.
