Parking seems like it should be a no-brainer, but for many people, parking can cause a lot of trouble if they don’t pay attention. Here are five more tips on how to keep yourself safe, as well as how to avoid damage to your vehicle while parking.

1.)    Keep in mind the pillar or lot section/number so that you won’t have any trouble finding your car once you’ve come back for it.

2.)    If it’s dark and you feel unsafe, as a security guard or nearby police officer to go with you to your car.

3.)    Avoid walking alone to your vehicle if you can.

4.)    Be aware of everything surrounding your vehicle. Don’t park too close to things that could potentially cause you or your vehicle harm (ie. A rotting tree that could break a limb, other cars parked too closely, a baseball field, etc.)

5.)    Only park in designated areas or in areas where it is appropriate for you to park. Do not try to “create” a parking space, or park in a handicapped/special space unless you have proper documentation.

Parking lots are dangerous for a lot of reasons, but if you take the right precautions, you can end up protecting both yourself and your vehicle from harm. Use these tips from ParkingSignCorner.com to make parking a whole lot safer.

1.)    Make sure that your doors are always locked and that your windows are completely shut. Even just a little crack can mean easy access to your valuables.

2.)    Try not to leave any valuables inside your car, no matter how little they may be. Jewelry, electronics, CDs, makeup bags, purses, and even books should be stowed away in the trunk. Leave your car looking as bare as possible to avoid being targeted for a break in.

3.)    Do not park your car in a secluded area at night, or in one that isn’t easily accessible or well-lit. It’s always best to park somewhere that you can get in and out of quickly and safely.

4.)    Check your back seat and under your car before getting in. Also keep an eye out for any suspicious activity around your car or in the parking area.

5.)    If something seems wrong, sound your horn to get other’s attention. Keep your doors locked once you’re inside the vehicle.

If you are a business owner or supervisor, you know that part of your job is to get the best effort out of your employees.  You also know when your workers put in 110%.

You should consider rewarding your employees for their hard work.  By establishing “Employee of the Month” reserved parking spaces, you can let your workers know how much you appreciate the effort.

If you place the reserved parking space(s) in a desirable location, it may also inspire your employees to achieve higher success.  The incentive of a premium parking space will surely increase productivity of your employees as they compete over these reserved spots, especially in the winter months.

So head to ParkingSignCorner.com and browse through our selection of durable and affordable Employee of the Month parking signs to help give your business a little shot in the arm.  There are several models in various colors.  There is even an “Employee of the Quarter,” sign if you’d like to take a unique route in terms of rewarding your employees.

Although we at Parking Sign Corner focus mainly on street signs related to parking that does not mean that is all that we have in our inventory.

We also have a number of items that may be of value to contractors both professional and independent.

Take for example our traffic cones. Are you working on a street and would like to keep the guys on your crew safe?  Putting in a new pad of concrete on a public sidewalk and want to keep people off?  Need to block off a side street while you maneuver your equipment into place?  Traffic cones can help you accomplish all of these tasks.

Another item that no contractor should be without is a safety vest. We have a variety of vests to browse through that can fit any type of working condition.  Don’t forget that you and your crew might be working in areas of heavy traffic, early in the morning, or late at night.  These are all conditions when a bright and reflective safety vest will help decrease the chances of an accident.

So keep your crew members, work area, and business safe but checking out the safety items at Parking Sign Corner.

When children skateboard, roller blade, or engage in similar activity, there is always the risk of injury. This is not to say that we should discourage children from getting physical exercise. However, unfortunate as it may be, should a child be skateboarding on your property, and he gets hurt, you might be the one to receive a legal bill.

Parking Sign Corner has a solution to your problem. We offer a number of signs that clearly indicate that skateboarding, roller blading, and similar activity is strictly prohibited.These protective signs are made of reflective aluminum and come in 12” x 18” or 18” x 24” sizes. This will ensure that the sign is clearly visible.

We also offer a number of protective signs with different phrasings. You can find the right sign for the situation and for your property by checking out our selection. Our signs address skateboarding, bike riding, scooter riding, roller blading, and ball playing. The option to include “in parking lot,” or “on sidewalk,” also exist.

Keep your property safe by visiting Parking Sign Corner and choosing one of our protective signs.

Parking laws and regulations can oftentimes change from city to town.  It is very important to be aware of the parking laws in the area in which you decide to park your car.

Most parking laws are well posted because they are in areas that are relevant.  “No Parking Here to Corner,” is posted near a street corner where you will see it.  “No Parking:  Fire Lane” will be posted in an area where “Fire Lane” will be painted on the ground.  These parking rules are easy to see and easy to follow.

One that you want to watch out for is the overnight street parking rules in the area you may be visiting.  These signs are not as well posted because they are spaced out along the street.  An example of this may be a sign that says, “No Parking 2AM-5AM.”  Any other time it is perfectly fine to park in that spot.  But between 2AM and 5AM, you will receive a fine for occupying that area with your car.

There are a few ways to combat this regulation.  The first is awareness.  It is important to note that overnight parking regulations don’t always exist.  It is something that is specific for each municipality.  So be extra sure to closely investigate the street on which you are parking, or by visiting the area’s municipal building to double check.

If there are overnight parking regulations, usually you can buy a parking permit from the municipal building.  But if you are only spending one night, it may not be worth the money.  You can ask your host to try to make some extra room in his driveway, or perhaps seek a public parking option.

Taking the time to familiarize yourself with the parking regulations of your area, and taking steps to ensure that you observe them, will save you a lot of frustration and potentially money when it comes to parking your vehicle.
