On a sunny day I noticed along the freeway, a collection of short bump strips. It is designed to wake up sleeping drivers.
However I think that these tiny bump strips can be used to assist drivers in car park as well as in the freeways.
Essentially for every car parking spot, there is a single
mini bump that tells drivers they are nearly hitting the curb.
To illustrate this here it is in text form
Car park:
C=---------------------- <-Car park divider
U=||||<---car move here
R=||||<--- & Roll over the "|" Which are bumps
B=----------------------
==||||<--
C=||||<--
U=----------------------
R=||||------ More car here
B=||||
==-----------------------
As the car move dangerously near the curb, the bump increase in height and power.
Also an option is to place these bumps along the car park border, to keep Idiots from straying to other car park places. Thus preventing others from using that same spot.
Thanks for reading, what do you think. Please comment so I can improve on this idea.

Useful with no real downsides. Bun. |

How many bumps are there, exactly? You might say "I will roll over just one more bump", but there are no more bumps, and you hit the curb. |
|
|
Hard, I might add, since you had to accelerate to get over the bump. |

One would care about their bumper encroaching upon another spot. But the distance between the contact patch of the tire to the bumper is not a uniform measurement among motor vehicles. |
|
|
Well one solution to this problem would be to make the spacing of these bump constant, for every carpark... so people can just count the bump for their particular car. |

How about one, really deep channel into which your front wheels will easily drop? [+] |
