Proper Parking Lot Striping is Crucial
If the striping on your parking lot is starting to fade, restriping it might not be on the top of your to-do list; but it should be. Faded, unclear parking lot striping can negatively impact your business in more ways than one.
Below are just a few reasons why restriping your parking lot should be moved to the top of your to-do list.
Safety
Without proper striping, nobody will know where to park, where to walk, or where to yield. Parking lot striping creates a sense of order that promotes safety in your lot. You can designate crosswalks for pedestrians to get from one side to the other. You can designate parking stalls for the common public, as well as parking stalls for VIPs or security guards. Parking lot striping can encourage drivers to go in the right direction, as well as keep them from going down a one-way road in the wrong direction.
Proper parking lot striping also promotes safety for those with disabilities. ADA compliance isn’t just the law, it’s also considerate and safe for those with unique needs.
Appeal
Proper parking lot striping is going to give your lot a more uniform look, which improves aesthetic appeal. With straight lines, clearly-marked spaces, and bright colors, everything will look orderly. Aesthetic appeal doesn’t just look nice for current clients, it also attracts future customers or tenants, improving your bottom line. If you already have striping, but it has faded over time, new paint would give the lot a dramatically new appeal.
Space
When your parking lot is a free-for-all, it can get packed and unorganized. Proper parking lot striping organizes the drivers who park there, actually allowing for more space for everyone. Designated motorcycle stalls and other parking areas can be maximized and carefully laid out so you have more spaces available when clients, customers, and tenants visit your property. This prevents an unsystematic and crowded lot.
