Parking blocks are an essential safety item for public parking lots, churches, school campuses, business parks and shopping centers. The device – also called parking curbs or parking stops – is relied on in densely packed, head-on parking slots to prevent drivers from rolling onto sidewalks or into other parked cars. It is also used to protect fixed objects including shopping carts, garbage receptacles, signage and utility poles. Parking curbs are installed as barriers for sidewalks, pedestrian pathways and bike lanes, providing additional protection from moving cars.
