Fading Repairs
Fading
Faded pavement markings and parking stall lines make these important traffic control devices invisible to customers, tenants and other motorists, leading to potentially dangerous outcomes. Arrows, stop bars, and other traffic control markings ensure the proper flow of traffic and optimize customer flow in and out of parking lots. Fire lanes, curbing and no parking zones ensure that vehicles will not be parked in important areas and potentially block emergency response vehicles. Furthermore, faded parking lines lead to insufficient use of parking lot space and leading to less customer and tenant parking than the parking lot space will allow, including accessible parking spaces.
Remedy
Re-painting the lines and pavement markings regularly is important to maintain the effectiveness of traffic and parking control as well as ensuring adherence to Federal, state and municipal ADA requirements. While planning is important, most re-painting projects require little downtime in the parking area. The product, traffic grade paints from many paint manufacturers, has a very quick dry-time. Most pavement marking companies can also provide advice for new layouts to optimize your parking lots' space for parking and traffic needs.
