Legal experts share the general right of way rules2 in a parking lot as: Cars in thoroughfares (lanes that connect to a road) have the right of way Vehicles approaching the thoroughfares must yield to drivers in those lanes Whenever there is a “stop” or “yield” sign, it gives the right of way to the other driver Drivers reversing or leaving a parking space must yield to oncoming traffic in feeder lanes Also, it’s essential to use common sense while navigating a parking structure. If you see a car is moving and the driver does not see your vehicle, you should exercise caution and yield to the moving vehicle.
