There are often times that business owners are responsible for the parking lots their customers use. This can be a maintenance item that many people aren’t familiar with. Particularly, the importance of the striping on the parking lot surface. The striping on your parking lot is something that shouldn’t be ignored. Andersen Asphalt & Striping is here to talk about why parking lot striping is so important to you and your business.
Make a Parking Lot Safer
The safety of your employees and your customers should be one of your top priorities as a business owner. Having well-defined crosswalks, parking lot pavement markers and clearly marked parking spaces will help ensure that’s the case. They all help assist in keeping the flow of traffic on point, ensuring that the handicapped patrons are well taken care of and keeping vehicles safe from dings and damage when customers are visiting your establishment.
Maximize Parking Lot Layout Design
Have you ever been to a parking lot after a big snowstorm? It’s like the wild-wild west when that happens when it comes to parking. Cars are just parking wherever they can find space because the lines are completely covered by snow. Clearly marked parking spaces can help you fit the maximum number of cars in your parking lot at one time. Not only that, but clearly marked parking spaces also ensure that it is done safely.
Parking Lot Aesthetics
Anytime you have your parking lot freshly striped, it will add considerable amount of curb appeal to your business. Over time, the striping will start to fade and show signs of wear, so when you have it freshly redone, it will make your business look like you just got a facelift. Many business owners decide to do this after they have had their parking lot freshly seal coated as well. The crisp lines in combination with the fresh black surface can give your building the clean look you are going for.
What is Required for a Handicap Parking Space?
An extremely important part of line striping has to do with handicapped spaces and accessibility. There are several businesses that must be ADA compliant. To do this, you must have a certain number of available handicapped spaces in your parking lot. These spaces need to be near the entrance with an accessible route to get into the building. Some businesses that are required to do this are:
– Churches
– Schools
– Retail Stores
– Hotels
– Medical Buildings
– Apartment Complexes
– Office Buildings
– Federal Facilities
– & More
