Whether you own an apartment building, office building or
you just want to keep your parking space free of unwelcome visitors, then you
need to look at the different parking barriers available on the market today.
There is a choice available, though each comes with its own
advantages and disadvantages. Ideally you want a solution that will restrict
visitors from parking in bays not allocated for them, eliminating the risk of
the parking bay owner arriving only to find there isn't anywhere for them to
put their vehicle.
One of the most frustrating things apartment owners, tenants
and office tenants find is that people visiting in their local area take
advantage of their parking space, reducing how far they have to walk. This is
one of the most frustrating experiences when you come home after a long day at
work and can't even put your car in your own parking space.
Many buildings have installed remote-controlled building
entry, which only enables those with a remote control to drive into the parking
area and put their car in their own bay. While this has proved successful in
most instances, there are still those within the building that will allow
friends to park in the building, taking up someone else's bay.
If you are one of those people who spend their time writing
on other driver's wind screens and leaving notes on stranger's cars, because
they have taken your space again, then you need to speak to your building
manager to come up with an alternate solution.
One of the methods introduced by many buildings throughout
the world was individual parking barriers. These require vehicle owners to get
out of their vehicle, lowering the barrier and then enabling to drive into
their bay with ease. The gates lock in place with a key system or padlock,
reducing the risk of anyone else stealing the bay.
Of course these parking barriers come with their fair share
of disadvantages, including driver safety. The driver has to exit the vehicle
to lower the gate, this gives room for car theft, especially when drivers leave
their keys in their vehicle. This is on older buildings and is already being
replaced by modern options to make sure drivers are safe each time.
Then there are the remote-controlled parking barriers, which
are placed on each person parking bay, such as the parking systems. These
barriers used a high range infrared remote control which lowers the gate as the
driver drives up to their bay. It eliminates the risk of the driver having to
get out of the vehicle, while keeping the bay vehicle free from unwelcome
drivers.
