Consider reverse parking. It is easier to see and to be seen whilst reversing into a space than when reversing out.
Reserve disabled spots for disabled users. Cars without blue badges are not allowed to park in disabled spots. The up-to date badge must be used, and used properly. If the person the badge is issued to is either not in the car or not getting out of the car, the parking space cannot be used. This would take away a spot from those who truly need it. Violations of these parking standards can result in heavy fines. Consider reverse parking. It is easier to see and to be seen whilst reversing into a space than when reversing out, and safer to drive out of a parking bay than to reverse. Always check for signs about reverse parking. Many parking lots do not allow reverse parking. It takes longer to reverse park than to reverse out of a spot, and a busy lot can quickly get congested. Leave the rocks, plants, etc. in the curbed dividers for others to enjoy looking at, for the rain & snow to soak into, and to collect loose debris. When you are able to visit a business at off peak hours, do so. You will usually be rewarded with a much closer parking space. If you've got good legs, save the closer spots for the elderly or people with small children. Even if you got to the spot first, let in someone who you think may have more difficulty than you at getting in. If you're going into a store, get a cart from the lot instead of waiting to get one inside the store. Even if they're a little wet and cold, they're just as good as the carts in the store. Etiquette in the parking lot is also for pedestrians. Do not walk in the middle of the lane, do not jay walk so that a car may not turn. If you're going into the store and there is a shopping cart nearby, return it to the store or use it. Push an abandoned shopping cart back to the store or to a cart corral if you pass one as you walk to the business through the parking lot. If you choose to park next to a curb, hug it so that the person that parks on the other side of you has more room.
