Does anyone else think the inside corner spaces – those on a corner, facing an interior rather than an exterior wall of the garage – should be marked “Compact Cars Only?”
Last night as I pulled into the garage in my Saturn SC2, there was a huge, full-sized SUV parked in the interior corner space of level 2. It totally created a blind corner for anyone in a regular-height car. As I rounded the corner, I honked several times to announce my presence, but still came within about a foot and a half of hitting a car coming in the opposite direction, who had cut the corner. She had no idea I was there, nor I her.
Seems like this has been happening more and more lately. If it’s happened to you too, shoot me an email at paul@paulryburn.com. Maybe we can get a group together to ask the garage to make the interior corner spaces compact cars only. If the garage won’t do it, maybe we can at least convince the Residence Inn to tell their valets to stop parking big SUVs and trucks in those spaces. It’s a big safety hazard and I’m surprised it hasn’t caused a wreck yet.
