How to Improve the Security of Your Car Park

Car parks are dangerous as they’re usually a contained space with lots of different types of people accessing cars and going between the parking spaces and your business, whether it be children, the elderly, those with disabilities, or large families. The best way to keep everyone safe is to put some security measures in place.

How Will Improving Your Car Park Improve Your Business?

If you own a business that uses a car park then it’s very important to make sure there are security measures in palace. Otherwise, you’ll have customers getting into accidents because they weren’t sure how best to cross the road, insurance claims because your car park wasn’t secure enough, and lower customer satisfaction ratings when there aren’t any spaces left for customers. Therefore, it’s important from an economic as well as a health and safety perspective to keep your car park secure.

From having a one way system to using traffic regulation methods, here’s how to improve the security of your car park!

One Way System

The first thing you should do is implement a one way system. This will make crossing roads a lot easier and safer and it’ll reduce the amount of accidents that occur on your premises. Try to have the exit on the other side to the entrance and use clear road markings to indicate which way cars should go. Not to mention that an effective one way system will make CCTV tracking a lot easier as it’ll be clear when somebody isn’t following the system and is up to no good.

Improved Visibility

Getting CCTV cameras installed is a great way to improve the visibility of your car park. Plus, they help to protect you and your business from false insurance claims and attempts to bend the truth against you. Video footage will support you whereas, without these systems, you’d be left with no hard evidence of what actually happened. They’re also beneficial because having them installed acts as a deterrent in many cases.



Traffic Regulation

It’s crucial to make sure you regulate traffic in your business premises because otherwise, you’ll find your car park filled to the brim with cars that aren’t using your facilities. Traffic barriers are a good way to make sure that only customers can access your car park and putting some bollards in place will force traffic to follow the one way system you’ve put in place. You may also wish to install a zebra crossing and speed bumps to further improve how you regulate traffic.
