The Importance of Parking Lot Line Striping

Parking lot striping involves painting lines and other symbols on parking lots to direct moving vehicles and indicate parking areas. It is an essential step after a driveway or parking lot is paved and sealcoated. The process requires precise execution.

Business outlets that get high traffic volumes, such as malls or fast food restaurants are sometimes required to get restriped annually or every two years while standard commercial properties restripe every two to four years. There are multiple benefits to maintaining line striping such as:

Ensure Safety

Faded parking lot paint may cause problems for motor vehicle owners or even pedestrians. As a commercial property owner, it is important to maintain the parking lot, handicap spaces, and arrows that mark traffic flow. Line striping and safety markings like pedestrian crossings will improve the parking lot conditions for your customers and employees.

Boost Curb Appeal

Prospects will judge your business premises right from the parking lot even before entry. A neglected parking lot will not give a good impression. If your parking lot lines have faded, we recommend that you schedule parking lot painting as soon as possible.

Maintain Compliance

The American Disabilities Act requires each business to create handicap spots with direct paths to the business premise. Line striping your parking spaces will make it easy for your disabled clients to navigate their way into your store while maintaining compliance with the law.
