Pavement marking refers to the stripping of parking lots.  -This provides information on what is required, thereby providing more safety to the parking lot users and reducing the chances of accidents.

How Pavement Marking Keep People Safe
Faded pavement marks are usually challenging to be seen clearly in parking lots, and this can increase the chances for accidents, a case that can make pedestrians take a lawsuit against the park owners for compensations. Therefore, there are many reasons why pavement markings should always be maintained.
Helping people to see where they should be driving to and park their vehicles.
They provide information to drivers to know where to slow down for pedestrians while entering the parking space.

Pavement Marking Helps Drivers Move in an Orderly Manner.
It allows drivers to park correctly without obstructing pedestrians and other motorists.
They indicate an intended travel path for short and long-range vehicles.
They help pedestrians to know where they should use for crossing while in the parking lot.
It helps bicyclists to identify their parking areas.
It helps people with disabilities to determine their paths without any assistance.

​How Often a Pavement Marking Should Be Refreshed
Pavement markings are required to be visible from a distance to avoid increasing the chances of accidents. Parking lot surfaces can either be of concrete or asphalt, and the following reasons indicate the need for repair:
Cracks- when asphalt and concrete continue to age with time, cracks develop on their surfaces
Potholes- despite this being an indication of repair, they pose eyesore and safety risks
Fading of parking lot surfaces requires the need for a refresh
Warping shows the need for the upgrade by demanding total replacement in case of massive damage.
Pavement markings are very vital when it comes to maintaining road safety by providing useful communication that all users are expected to adhere to use the roads safely. The pavement marking is therefore required to be very clear for visibility, and they should be refreshed at least once a year.

​Fire lanes are specialized areas of the parking lot that lets you access fire trucks quickly and other emergency machinery to access your property in times of emergency. Fire lanes are not designed for regular vehicle traffic. No other vehicle is allowed in the fire lane area, except for emergency vehicles.     

• Fire Lane Signs For Your Parking Lot

Fire lane signs are vital to show the fire lanes for the patrons. Furthermore, the lanes must be marked well with correct signage and stenciling. The most important rule is that fire lanes must be kept clear of standing or parked vehicles so that firefighters can access the property in case of an emergency. 
​
Other than fire lane striping, you can install the “ No Parking Fire Lane Signage.” Fire lane signs are equally important but not mandatory. If it is decided that a fire lane is wrongfully designated, signs will solve the issue. Signs indicate the approximate boundaries of the fire lane. Also, you can easily see the reflective No Parking Fire Lane signs at night, which is very crucial in underground parking lots and garages. 

• No Parking Fire Lane - Safety For Your Patrons

A parking lot can also act as the face of a business. If the parking lot is marked correctly, well-maintained and clean,  your customers and clients will feel safe. If a fire strikes, the parking lot might be a hazardous area. 

Public or commercial premises with a parking lot must have signage and fire lane to help provide directions to emergency vehicles.

• What Is A Fire Lane

The fire lane does not look the same as other parking lines because it is signage of extreme importance. A fire lane comprises two parallel strips that are marked by a stencil. Fire lanes can be installed either in asphalt or concrete ground, which must support sixty thousand pound vehicles.  The fire lane striping is quite complicated because it is marked to the curb of the fire lane. 
​
To adhere to parking laws and regulations, parking lot owners must follow directions associated with fire lane striping. The fire lane is designed with the sole purpose of providing access to emergency vehicles. It separates them from other vehicles and pedestrians.

Why do pavement markings need to be painted at all? Well, they were designed to prevent chaos and confusion in the parking area. When navigating through parking lot aisles, drivers can get unfocused and lose control when seeing a huge number of cars in front of them. If the parking area is clearly marked, they can quickly orientate and choose an aisle.

Directional arrows in the parking lot help to control and direct traffic flow in parking lots. This is an easy and effective way to provide users with clear instructions in the right direction and prevent car crashes. Directional arrows are aimed at pointing out the correct way in the parking lot. Moving slowly and following these arrows, drivers can park properly and avoid damage.

How many ADA stalls are required in your parking lot?  

This is a frequently asked question. The fact is that ADA 1990 stipulated that a particular number of handicap parking places are required for your parking lot. The two types of handicap stalls available are the van spaces and the regular handicap stalls. According to the act, you are expected to have the two.  

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the number of each type of handicap spot you will need is a matter of the number of parking spots you have as a whole—and it even depends on the type of business you are doing in a number of cases.
​
For instance, outpatient medical services are required to have 10 percent of the overall spots intended for accessibility in their parking lots. However, professional estimators are available to help you and also make sure your parking lot meets the ADA standards.


How often should you repaint the Handicap stalls in your parking lot?  
 
It should be noted that handicap stalls in your parking lot offer a sense of safety and organization to your property. Even though there is no direct or simple response to the question of how often should you restripe the handicap stalls in your parking lot, the rule of thumb is that handicap stalls in parking lots should be repainted when the stalls start to fade, or not less than each second year.
 
The expected service life of handicap stalls is dependent on frequency of use, traffic patterns, and weather.


 Detailed Requirements for ADA Handicap Stalls in a Parking Lot  
-  The Size - The measurements for your accessible parking stalls are quite essential. These spots must be a minimum of 96 inches wide having a 60-inch wide and 20-foot long adjacent aisle. The van spaces must be a minimum of 132 inches wide; apart from situations where the aisle is big enough for a 96 inches wheelchair lift.

-  Signs - There are particular regulations for signs for accessible stalls. You must maintain the international symbol for accessibility, while the sign must be high enough to be seen above parked vehicles—plus, it must indicate if the spot is van accessible.
​
-  The Entrances – You are required to have accessible parking very close to each door if you have many entrances to your building. This guarantees that you are following the equality and providing everyone the opportunity of getting in and appreciating your high standards--and, it is a sign and message that you are particular about treating everyone well.
