PARKING LOT STRIPING IN MONTEREY

A well designed, well-marked, well-laid-out parking lot will help direct your visitors safely around your designated parking area. From disabled bays, pick-up areas, loading zone, crosswalks, and stop bars, they are all designed to help improve visitor safety and traffic flow around the building.

A good parking lot striping will have durable, bright striping for parking stalls and clearly marked arrows for exit and entry points. Handicap stalls, drop-off points, directional arrows, and other relevant traffic markings are all key considerations.

At Coastal Paving and Excavations, we are your local professional parking lot striping contractors. We can work from any design or blueprint in order to give you the exact specification and durability you need.

Typically, clients will get parking lot striping re-done every 18-24 months, with an average life expectancy of anything between 2-5 years. However, wear and tear, your local climate, and your location will play a major factor in how often you need to re-stripe your parking lot. It also depends on the quality of the paint that was used originally to install the traffic markings in the first place. 

Generally speaking, parking lot striping paint can dry in around 15-30 minutes. The total time will depend on the total amount of coverage you need and the different types of traffic markings we are placing or re-striping for you. We will need to undertake some initial preparatory work, which will involve cleaning, and, where required, removing any old parking lot stripes or traffic markings.

The team at Coastal Paving and Excavating will work with you to undertake any parking lot striping work at a mutually convenient time that will cause minimal downtime to your business and your visitors. We utilize the highest quality traffic-marking paints and modernized equipment to get the work carried out in the most effective way.

Depending on the surface, temperatures, or climate, the lifespan can range.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) impacts every commercial property owner, irrespective of the size of the property or purpose of the business. All businesses need to have the right amount of accessible parking spaces for handicapped drivers and for vans. 

For newly constructed parking lots, there are many municipalities that will insist commercial premises be compliant with ADA requirements prior to any operating permit being issued. ADA regulations also dictate there needs to be a minimal number of allocated parking spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of the utilized facility.

Handicap parking stalls are also another consideration determined by ADA regulations. Typically, for every 25 regular parking spaces, there needs to be one handicapped parking stall installed. Specifically, they ask for all stalls to be correctly marked with white and handicap blue traffic markings. There are also metal handicaps signs that need to be handled as well. 

If you would like to know the specific requirements for your area, you can speak with our team directly or visit the ADA website directly for the most up-to-date information. It’s also important to point out that many local governments and states may have their own policies, which could provide you with more specific guidance on your obligations.
