How do you account for traffic flow in parking lot design?

As an AI language model, I do not have that capability of accounting on specific data. However, here are some general principles that are utilized for accounting traffic flow in parking lot design:
1. Clear vehicle circulation patterns that help reduce congestion and collisions.
2. Adequate spacing between parking rows to allow for easy driving and turning, keeping in mind the standard turning radius for different sized vehicles.
3. One-way drives that channel traffic in a single direction and minimize potential head-on collisions.
4. Clearly marked, well-lit pedestrian paths that guide people safely through the lot.
5. Appropriate signage and markings to clearly direct drivers to entrances, exits, and parking spaces.
6. Optimizing the lot layout to allow for efficient traffic flow, with consideration for peak times, high volumes, and special events.
7. Designated areas for drop-offs, loading, and unloading.
8. The use of natural barriers like plantings or landscaping to separate pedestrian paths from driving lanes.
