Parking lots are one of the first details of your property noticed by customers, clients and other guests when visiting your building. Having freshly painted and vibrant stripes is attractive, emphasizes safe traffic practices and shows that the property manager appreciates regular maintenance upkeep. Lots and line striping directs drivers safely through the parking area — marking key areas that pedestrians and drivers should note, like loading and emergency zones, crosswalks, pickup areas and proper parking spaces.

Parking Lot Line Striping Services
While line painting may not seem a crucial step in regular parking lot maintenance, keeping the lines fresh and easily visible ensure smooth traffic flow, improves property value and shows that any pavement surface repairs have been completed, and the area is ready for efficient daily use by both visitors and the property owner.
When having new pavement marking services performed on your property’s lots, there are several painting details to consider, including:
- Maximizing Available Space: When deciding to repaint your lots, consider whether you should reconfigure the current layout to achieve a better design that fits as many cars as possible into the lot to ensure cost-effective operations. With the right plan and asphalt marking, your parking lots can achieve this goal.
- Achieving Efficient Traffic: Visitors to your business want simple, spacious parking so they can enter, park and leave the lot safely and efficiently. By adding easy-to-spot parking stalls, directional arrows and handicapped-reserved spaces, you can effectively direct traffic and ensure efficient daily operations.
- Marking Designated Parking Spots: Before marking your asphalt, consider whether you need special parking spots marked for specific customers, employees or other guests.
- Adhering to ADA Guidelines: Make sure that before pavement line striping has begun, you’ve factored in the correct amount of handicapped-accessible parking spaces and required van spaces needed for your lot. Owners can factor this by having the minimum amount of parking spaces per 1000 square feet of the utilized space.
- Considering Layout Options: For most property owners, designing your parking lot to have the maximum amount of parking spaces is the primary goal. However, depending on your business operations the maximum number of spaces may not be the most practical option. Parking spaces with a straight-in layout allows for the most amount of spaces and two-way traffic, and they’re also simpler to layout and stripe. By opting for angled stalls — painted at a 45-, 60- or 75-degree angle — are often the preferred design for many businesses because they’re simpler for drivers to turn into and back out of, require a narrower space and can have a more controlled, less chaotic traffic flow that may be appealing to many property owners.
