Until you have a clue, get off and walk whenever you enter a parking
lot.

I'm assuming that you already know how to walk across a parking lot --
is that rash?


Maybe. There a lot more people killed in "Person" - auto collisions
than "Bicycle" - Auto collisions :-)

The problem in parking lots is more often the pedestrians, not the
motorists. Avoiding witless pedestrians may put you in conflict with drivers
seeking a spot or trying to exit.
