Recent re-striping at Racetrac in Marietta, Ga. Why is parking lot striping important
The first thing visitors will see when they drive onto your property is your parking lot. This is their first impression of you and your business, so you want to make sure that it is a good one. A freshly painted lot tells everyone that you care about details and are committed to providing pedestrians and drivers with a safe, attractive environment.
Safety
Do you have aisles that cars should travel in a certain direction if they plan to park in spaces along that aisle without excessive maneuvering? Is the city thoroughfare adjoining the exit to your lot a one-way street? Can pedestrians and drivers easily recognize your crosswalks? Are there pavement markings to indicate that cars need to stop or yield to cross traffic? Can drivers clearly identify the boundaries of each parking space? Pavement markings can help solve these (and many more) potential safety issues that your visitors might encounter.
Appearance
Most humans respond favorably to the sight of fresh paint, whether it is on a home’s exterior, a car or a parking lot. It carries with it a sense of cleanliness and pride of ownership. With a parking lot, it also imparts a feeling that the environment is organized into easily understandable areas. Visitors feel more in control and less confused. In short, if you are looking for an economical way to spruce up the appearance of your parking lot and make it more attractive to your visitors, new line striping and pavement markings could be an excellent choice.
Regulatory Compliance
In most situations, your parking lot must comply with a variety of ordinances and regulations. For example, parking spaces reserved for disabled individuals must be clearly marked. You might be required to mark fire lanes and indicate that they are no-parking areas. If you have stop signs on your property, local codes may require that you also have a pavement marking at or immediately before the stop. Having the correct pavement markings can help you avoid potential fines.
