How can parking garages be more dangerous than parking lots?

In the past, you may have preferred parking your vehicle in a garage rather than a lot because you assumed this enclosed structure provided more safety features for yourself and your property alike. Unfortunately, though, this may only be the case for parking garages that are well-maintained by their owners. Otherwise, a parking garage may be deemed more dangerous than a lot for the following reasons:

  • A parking garage’s large pillars and tight turns may significantly reduce visibility for drivers and pedestrians.
  • A parking garage’s inadequate lighting may reduce visibility for pedestrians at stairwells or on uneven surfaces.
  • A parking garage’s secluded nature may promote more criminal activities (i.e., acts of assault, theft, vandalism, etc).
  • A parking garage’s lack of ADA-accessible walkways, ramps, and sidewalks may increase the risk of falls among the most vulnerable.
