PARKING LOT MARKING SOLUTIONS

Your parking lot makes a first impression on your customers, vendors, and employees and helps form their overall opinion of your business and operations. Is your parking lot neat and well-maintained? Do you think it’s well-lit? Is it safe? These are just a few questions for you to ask yourself about this heavily used area of your operation. Highly visible striping and other markings that identify parking spaces, non-parking spaces, and height differences help keep your customers and employees safe.

Pavement Marking is the final component of your parking lot maintenance plan. It directs pedestrians and vehicles around the parking lot by designating drive lanes, fire lanes, ADA-accessible areas, crosswalks, and parking spaces.

CONSIDERATION TO PAVEMENT MARKING DESIGN IS OUR NICHE

Efficient Traffic Flow. Customers want parking lots that allow them to enter, park, and exit quickly and safely. Attractive and properly placed parking stalls, arrows, and handicapped-reserve signs help direct travelers efficiently.

Designated Parking. Before pavement marking, it’s essential to consider whether a parking lot needs designated parking spaces for disabled persons, customers, employees, visitors, or others.

ADA Guidelines. Signed into law in July 1990, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) affects every property owner. Regardless of company size, all businesses must now have the proper amount of handicapped-accessible parking stalls and required van parking spaces.

Maximize Space. A property owner aims to get the most cars into a parking lot to maintain cost-effectiveness. The right layout and parking markings can help meet this goal.
