Thread: Parking lot safety [Temp 1]

    Parking lot safety [Temp 1]

    Hi, I'm a graduate student doing a paper dealing with parking lot design and safety planning. Does anyone have any sources or studies dealing specifically with design of convenience stores- gas pumps? I'm wanting to write a paper that will design the safest parking lot in terms of design.

    For instance, I've noted an industry trend in parallel gas pumps verses gas pumps in series, protection barriers that are ergonomically designed to encourage users to pull forward into the "safety zone" etc. Anyone know of any studies I can read or refer to as a part of my research project?

    Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
    Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
    Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

    Are you sure you're not hurt ?
    No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
    Broke parts take a little longer, though.
