The Benefits Of Parking Lot Striping Utah

By Barbara Hughes


For people who own commercial buildings or property, it is important to understand how important it is to have parking lots that are welcoming and comforting to clients and employees. Parking lot striping plays a critical role in giving them an attractive and hospitable look. The work can be done by paving companies or service providers who major in striping. When it comes to parking lot striping Utah property owners should appreciate the benefits it comes with.

One major reason to have the markings done is because they ensure safety to not only drivers but also pedestrians. When crosswalks are well-defined, it will ensure that all users are able to watch out and get to where they were headed without incidents. Moreover, there will be direction of traffic in such a way that a driver will be able to maneuver through the parking lot. That efficiency ensures less time will be spent trying to find your way around.

When lots are well marked, there will be maximization of spaces. Clearly marked line stalls on asphalt pavements will mean that at any given time, it is possible to have a maximum number of vehicles parked. Moreover, it indicates the right of way for all drivers. In the end, there will not be congestion of parking lots or blocking off by vehicles that are improperly parked. Everyone will know where to park.

There is curb appeal which is associated with having parking strips. The marks ensure that curb appeal is maintained. Over time, previously marked lines start to fade out and will therefore not be easily seen. The fading is caused by traffic and weather elements. In many commercial properties, lots are striped after scheduled seal-coating is finished. When there are black pavements and lines marked are blue or yellow, the resulting contrast makes it visually appealing.

When there is striping, it means there will be proper access for people that are handicapped. This makes it much easier for them to park. At the same time, visitors will be directed to the most direct path to the building as well as to where they should park. As a matter of fact, it is a legal requirement that handicap spaces are well marked out.

When lines are properly marked, it reduces liability. When parking has strips that have faded over a period of time, they will not be easily seen. It could therefore result in accidents in which a driver could be faulted for. Therefore, the lines will communicate important information like the spaces reserved for pedestrians and who has right of way. When lines are well marked out, there is reduced risk of being found liable for an accident.

There are different types of striping and the one that is chosen will depend on layout and size of the parking. The most used are parallel lines. There is the option of spotted lines that are diagonal that could also be used. There should be a plan to before the type of marking is selected.

After marking is completely done, it can last for a number of years. Fading happens because of traffic and conditions of the weather. When parking has more traffic, there will be need to maintain it more.
