What Are Parking Blocks?
A parking block can be found at the end of a parking space, and prevents you from accidentally driving out of the space. If you have ever been saved by one of these cement parking blocks, then you would have been grateful that you were prevented from hitting a building or another car. They can also bring several benefits to your business, which will be discussed further below.
The Many Names For Parking Blocks
Parking blocks can be referred to in several different ways, depending on what state you live in. Manufacturers also tend to call them different things in order to set them apart from similar products. You may hear parking blocks referred to as curb stops, parking stops or perhaps something completely different again. However, regardless of what they are called, they all perform the same action and prevent serious damage from being caused to your vehicle if a collision were to take place.
You may not have thought much about parking blocks at all, especially if you have never had cause to use one. But if you are a business owner with a parking lot that customers use, these devices can bring you more benefits than you may realise.
What Can Parking Blocks Do For Your Parking Lot?
There are a number of advantages of having parking blocks installed in your parking lot.
– IT MAKES IT SAFER. There is virtually no chance that anyone could end up hitting your premises by mistake if a parking block is installed in your lot. With a concrete parking barrier, there is also less chance of a collision between two cars in your parking lot, which is much safer for your customers. Installing parking blocks can give you peace of mind that there are no safety issues in your parking lot which could damage your reputation among your customers.
– IT IMPROVES ORGANISATION. Parking blocks which have been properly installed can help to organize the flow of traffic in and out of your parking lot. They can help drivers identify where they need to park and make it less likely that they will cut off other drivers. You could be held liable if an accident were to occur in your parking lot if it is not clear where drivers should be heading. If you are unsure where to position your parking blocks, then this is something the company that is carrying out the installation should be able to advise upon.
Parking Blocks Look Professional
Parking blocks add a really professional touch to your business premises. The first impression that the customer has of your business will often be based on what they see in the parking lot.
If they see parking blocks, then this tells them that you care about your customers and have made an effort to help them before they have even entered the premises. This makes it far more likely that you will earn their business.
