Alert: Parking lot safety - the managed "right of way”

Fact 1:
Pedestrians do not always have the right of way.
Fact 2:
A car backing up (e.g. parking lot) has a managed ‘right of way’ because the driver does not have ‘full visibility’.
Action:
When a car is backing up, pedestrians should not continue to walk behind the moving car.
When a car is backing up, approaching cars should yield the right-of-way to the car backing out. This is especially true if the car backing up is more than half-way out.
