i.e. you work at a mall and you have to sign a parking paper that states you will park in a designated area.

Maybe not. But they could fire you for parking in an area of the mall you've been told not to park in.

Very probably so.
In the instance you gave, they actually can make that a "condition of employment", which means that if you don't sign it, you were never actually hired in the first place, and if you sign it but violate it, you can be immediately terminated.
That instance is one that would be hard for you to fight. It is very probably a condition of the store's lease that all employees park in a designated area, to give the best spaces to paying customers.
Some documents they might make you sign, but would have no legal effect, but you didn't ask about those.
Sign it and park where you are told or don't take the job.

You have your right to do what you want. What's the big deal of signing a document that states you will follow what is being asked of you to do. Remember he also has the right to no longer need your services, leaving you with nothing to worry about as far as where to park. Think about it before you do the wrong thing.

In most states an employer can fire you for any reason except because of sex, race, creed, etc. If he really wants to fire you, he can probably find a reason (and it won't be because you didn't sign this piece of paper). Show up late one day for work.
Why make an issue of it----sign the paper.

Yes. Parking restrictions are a reasonable request. The purpose of the signature is to maintain a record that you have been advised of the rule.

Yes. It is a condition of employment. Once signed, you cannot say you didn't know the rule.

Yes - If all employees are required to sign it then your refusal to do so gives them the right to fire you.

Would you prefer that they just wait until you violate the parking policy and fire you for that?
