How Can I Stop People Parking In My Business Car Park?

If you own a business with a car park, it can be both a blessing and an annoyance. While it is great for customers, employees and any other visitors to be able to make use of your car park, it can be annoying if other people are using your spaces for purposes that will not benefit you.

Here are some tips from Shuretech on how to stop people parking in your car park.

Clear Signage

Make sure it is clearly labelled around the space that it is a private car park for customers/employees/visitors only, and if you are not any of these things you should not be parking in your space. This should include clear signage at the entrance and exit, as well as signs around the car park so there is no chance of confusion.

The signage should also include the consequences for parking in this space, such as you might be fined or towed away. Sometimes it is hard to act on these consequences, but even the threat that they can happen can be a deterrent enough.

Charge For Parking

Many might be using your car park as they see it as a convenient place to park without having to pay for it. Installing a way to charge for parking is a great way to stop people parking in your car park. 

They will no longer see it as a cheap option and avoid it instead and it also comes with the benefit that if they do choose to use it, you’ll make some money from it!

Install A Barrier

Another great tip for keeping people from your car park is to install a security barrier at the entrance and exit. This is a very visible deterrent to people, who will instantly see the barrier and see that this is a private space they will not be able to gain access to.
