What do people do in empty parking lots?
4 Things to do with Unused Parking Lots

- Food Truck Parking. Empower local businesses and activate unused space.
What is the number of the parking spot riddle?
The Guardian traced it to legendary puzzle author David Bodycombe. The answer is 87!
Why do people park next to you when there are other spots?
It is plausible that people tend to park next to other people’s cars because they like the idea of social cohesion in public, or they might associate social cohesion with safety.
Is it illegal to learn to drive in a car park?
Supermarket car parks, even though they’re private land, are considered public places. That means insurance is required, so unless they’re over 17 and have a provisional license, they can’t drive there. Even if the car park’s empty, it’s illegal for your child to practice driving in a car park without insurance.
When your vehicle is properly in a straight in parking space?
When you have properly parked your vehicle in a straight-in parking space, your vehicle will be centered inside the space with no part of the vehicle extending out in the traffic lane.
Where do you park in a large parking lot?
When I have to park in a large parking lot, at a grocery store or mall, for instance, I try to park in an open area well away from the crowd of cars clustered near the entrance. I find it saves time over circling around looking for that great spot, and I like the idea that, over a lifetime, I’m getting miles more exercise than I otherwise would.
Why do people hang out in parking lots?
My theory is that it’s because people (most of us, anyway) are herd animals. While I haven’t noticed this particular phenomenom in parking lots, I have noticed it at the beach: you set your towel down on a deserted stretch of sand, and ten minutes later the family with eight screaming kids plonks themselves right next to you.
Why does my car mark the outer boundary of a lot?
– this occurs if someone is in a hurry to park and get inside, and they see your car marking the outer boundary. They fear venturing further into the lot and getting tangled up in the fray, losing additional time. Your car has subconsciously flipped a switch that says: further in, conditions are unknown; park here and get it over with.
Do most people need external guides to park their car?
It’s my theory that many, many people are incapable of parking their car within the boundaries of the lines without at least one other car to guide them. It is most definitely my *experience* that most people are completely ignorant of the dimensions of their car, so it would follow that they’d need external guides to fit in a spot.
