Only idiots drive fast in parking lots. They are already taking their lives (and ours) into their own hands when they zip through places with posted speeds usually no more the 5-10 MPH. It's rather difficult to get yourself killed or badly injured by hitting a wall from the side at 10 mph.
Evidence that it's a parking lot:
The parked cars to the right and back of the image.
The yellow-painted curb in front of the "tunnel."
There's another unbroken stripe running across the length of the painting's wall, and well away from the wall.
From the side, driving up to and upon it, it will never look like a tunnel. For one thing, that wall is not flat. A tunnel would look like it was literally cut into the concrete, which is not the case here. The only time it looks like a real tunnel is from the perspective of the photographer who is standing in a parking area, per the bottom-right image:
