	[https://www.urban-design-guidelines.planning.vic.gov.au/toolbox/glossary Urban Design Guidelines for Victoria], published by the State of Victoria (Australia) in 2016, states: ‘Car parking structures are buildings used solely for car parking or mixed with other uses, and may provide parking for residents, commercial tenants, shoppers and visitors. They can be constructed above or below ground. Car parking structures cater for both vehicle and pedestrian movement, however pedestrians may be required to share paths with vehicles to reach a lift or stairwell, which can be a safety hazard.’		[https://www.urban-design-guidelines.planning.vic.gov.au/toolbox/glossary Urban Design Guidelines for Victoria], published by the State of Victoria (Australia) in 2016, states: ‘Car parking structures are buildings used solely for car parking or mixed with other uses, and may provide parking for residents, commercial tenants, shoppers and visitors.

	Vehicular flow around a car park can be controlled by techniques such as; staffed control points, CCTV, barrier access, flow points, passive or active signage and so on. Signage should be designed so that it is clearly visible and used to control, instruct or warn users. Signs are typically used to indicate entry and exit routes, one-way lane directions, the location of pay booths/machines, toilet facilities, lift/staircases, emergency help points, and so on.

−	Designers of car parks should consider the obligations of owners and operators under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, concerning the ‘stability and solidity’ of employment premises. A car park must be safe for persons lawfully entering the premises, and must comply with the Occupiers Liability Act 1957.

	Typically, car parks are an area with a durable or semi-durable surface. As the surface is often impervious, car parks can result in water pollution due to limited or no facilities that are capable of handling water run-off.

−	It is common for entry and exit routes to a car park to be situated close together, although larger car parks may require more than one point of entry/exit. Height restrictors may be necessary to control the type of vehicles that use the facility. Where there is open access at ground floor level, security measures should be designed to ~~try and~~ prevent unauthorised access.	+	It is common for entry and exit routes to a car park to be situated close together, although larger car parks may require more than one point of entry/exit.

More modern car parks can also feature technology that allows the location of vehicles, finding empty spaces, and generally improve the user experience.
