Perhaps common sense occurs naturally in a little over half of the population. The rest...
The area infront of a building is a unload area/ fire lane. Just becaue it isn't labeled as such doesn't make this different. If a different area is assigned to this idea, it is usualy labeled as well. BUT Even if our fire lane had signs saying..."Fire Lane or 10 minute parking only", and SC wouldn't care. We have people park there anyway. For some reason they think this is the "safest" please, even though it is the one part of the building not coverened by any of our cameras. dumbasses! Motorcyles get left there & on the sidewalk (?) pretty often. I sit behind the desk unable to see most of the front area wondering if they thought there was a camera there in the well-lit area?
Tonight a guy comes in for a room a little after 1am. Once I have him almost checked in he asks where he can park his truck that has a long trailer attached. I proceed to tell him we have extrended parking spaces for such vehicles or if they are full he can park anywhere he won't be blocking people (which I mean as "in the parking lot area). I apparently need to be even more specific for the dumb.
He was kinda a jerk anyway, but then he asks, "Can I park out in front where I am?" (aka the unloading/loading area or fire lane) "No, any area infront of a building is a fire lane. You could park there, but if a firetruck were needing to park there in an emergency they would just plow ya out of the way."
SC: Well, they couldn't get my truck out of the way! *glare, thinking he was soo smart*
Me: Okay, well they would eventually move it & you would get a serious ticket then in the least.
He then gave me more glares as he walked away like he was mad I was right or something.
I know the idea of parking in an area that isn't labeled is tempting... but grrr!
