As a property owner, you might have a maintenance list a mile long. Is the parking lot on that list? How about parking lot striping? If it is, it might be towards the bottom of the list; however, there are several reasons why parking lot striping should be moved up that list.
Striping Improves First Impressions
You may not have thought about it before, but your parking is responsible for making a first impression on your clients and customers. Perhaps you have some intriguing landscape features and some clever signs. While those are great, you need to complete the aesthetic appeal with proper striping. If your striping is faded, particularly if it has faded away altogether, the lot might look old and worn out. That could cause your customers and clients to assume you don’t take very good care of your business, and that’s never a good assumption.
Striping Increases Safety
The striping in your parking lot is going to increase safety for everyone. You can have arrows painted on the throughways to show drivers which direction they should go in specified areas. You can have crosswalks painted between certain areas for pedestrian safety. These features, as well as many others, will help drivers avoid confusion, which leads to avoiding collisions and injuries.
Striping Helps You Meet Requirements
Every parking lot has to abide by certain requirements to be legally functional. Depending on the size of the lot, there needs to be a certain amount of marked handicapped parking spaces. A certain amount of those spaces need to be van accessible and the right width to accommodate those vehicles. Color and visibility are an important part of legal requirements, as are proper signage and functionality of the entire system.
