There is no such thing as a totally secure and safe car park as theft and damage can be caused by anyone including those that have alawfull right to be there. There is an initiative by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) called the safer Parking Award `Park Mark` www.saferparking.com. The award is given following a crime and safety risk assessment along with an assessment on management procedures and practises. The award is on an annual assessmoent and can be withdrawn if crime or anti social behaviour occures or management procedures are found wanting. What is the point of all that barbed wire high fences if it creates a fear of crime. Good securty in any building or space is there to deter and detect any offences whilst creating a safe enviroment that encourage its use.
In relation to traffic offences it does not necessarally mean just because its private land, traffic law offences can`t be committed. You can be done for drink driving on the forecourt of a garage. Speeding may not be easy to detect due to distances travelled but reckless/careless could in certain circumstances. 15 mph in a small car park at 11am on a Saturday morning is more dangerous than 100mph on a motorway at 2am.
Health and safety, duty of care is something employers are responsble for if they give parking provision on their land then I would concider it to be a part of their place of work. Trip hazards, lighting, oil/fuel spillages should all be dealt with as if it were the office or factory floor.
