Well-kept parking lots are essential to the overall function, safety, and efficiency of an establishment. When a parking lot is left to deteriorate, property values decrease, traffic flow suffers, and pedestrian safety is jeopardized. To keep your business productive, it is imperative to invest in restriping the parking lot. However, many property owners don’t know much about this process, or when they should have it done. Below is a brief guide to help you maintain your parking lot. 

Why Should I Restripe My Parking Lot?

Properly preserved driveways and parking lots are crucial to any residence or commercial building. For instance, fire lines, intersections, and handicapped parking spaces protect customers and employees and help keep order. Clear traffic flow instructions ensure that customers don’t get confused and frustrated. Therefore, it is necessary to regularly restripe any paint and markings as soon as they begin to fade.

How Often Should I Restripe My Parking Lot?

Parking lots that receive low levels of traffic require minimal maintenance. Specifically, parking lots in business districts and asphalt driveways in residential neighborhoods typically last for two years. However, parking lots that experience high amounts of activity usually need to be restriped every 12-18 months. Locations that withstand severe weather conditions- such as snow, sleet, rain, or heatwaves- may need more frequent restriping to keep their pavement markings adequately visible.
