Safety First: Female-Friendly Car Parks To Reduce Crime

We want this in Ireland ASAP.  Walking through a multi-storey carpark at nighttime can be a scary experience. The footsteps, the creepy noises and the person following you home - we have probably watched too many movies. So it’s well-received news that one city council is introducing ‘female-friendly’ parking spaces as part of a trial in an attempt to improve safety for women. In Perth, Australia, 28 ‘female-friendly’ parking spaces out of 700 are closer to entrances and exits, more brightly lit and closer to CCTV cameras. image via new.com.au Talking to news.com.au, City of Perth chief executive Martin Mileham has said this trial will not specifically disadvantage the men of Perth and hopes they will support the three-month trial. Mileham stated, “men won’t be fined if they park in the bays but the City encourages men to support this trial”. It is yet to be known if the trial will be brought to other areas.
