Safe driving has always required drivers to focus on their surroundings, and, despite the potential promise of autonomous vehicles, it is still very much a hands-on activity. This is especially true when drivers are trying to find their way through a parking lot and locate a prime space to leave their vehicles. The last thing drivers need is to deal with a chaotic, confusing environment, but that is exactly what they will face without adequate pavement markings and parking lot striping.
How Does Parking Lot Striping Help Eliminate Chaos and Enhance Safety?
Parking lots are designed to direct traffic in an orderly pattern. A pavement striping contractor lays out the parking lot design so that traffic flows in specific directions throughout the property. When drivers know how traffic is supposed to flow, bottlenecks can be eliminated or reduced, and drivers find it easier to enter a parking space at the proper angle. With less confusion and fewer distractions, it is easier for drivers to monitor the situation around them. They have more time to spot pedestrians, notice that a parked car is about to back out, or determine whether an object on the pavement ahead is an animal or a bag that is being moved by the wind.
How Often Do I Need Parking Lot Striping?
There are several variables that can affect the time your parking lot can go before you need a parking lot painting service. The number of vehicles that use your lot, the age and condition of your pavement, and the type of paint you select can all impact how long your markings will last. However, when it comes to parking lot striping Marietta contractors typically find that an average lot needs fresh striping about every two years. If you notice that your markings and stripes are faded, damaged, or flaking away, you should call your pavement striping contractor even if the calendar does not yet show that it is time for new lot striping.
When Hiring a Marietta Striping Contractor, What Should I Look For?
You want to hire an experienced pavement striping contractor with a reputation for dependability, quality work, and the employees and tools to do the job right the first time every time. If the contractor also offers sealcoating, road striping, asphalt crack repairs, or other services that you may need in conjunction with your lot striping, you may be able to save time and possibly a little money by choosing this contractor over someone who only offers a parking lot painting service.
