As a business owner, keeping employees and visitors safe on company grounds will reduce the risk of accidents and lawsuits. In addition to repaving crumbling pavement, you should invest in parking lot striping. Businesses that experience the following problems benefit from this aspect of lot maintenance the most.

When Is Parking Lot Restriping Necessary?

1. Parking Inefficiency

When motorists can’t see the lines separating spaces, they might park anywhere. When a car is over the line, it forces surrounding drivers to park their vehicles incorrectly too, greatly reducing the amount of available space in the lot.

Clearly visible lines will maximize the efficiency of your parking lot design. 

2. Frequent Accidents

In addition to dividing spaces, pavement markings direct the flow of traffic in and out of the lot. If the arrows and lines are hard to see, drivers might go the wrong way down rows and cut across the lot, which makes them more likely to collide with approaching vehicles. An uptick in fender benders is a problem parking lot striping can remedy. 

3. Cars Without Tags Park in Accessible Spaces 

If you frequently report motorists for parking in handicap spaces without tags, try to pinpoint the source of the problem. If the paint is chipped or faded, motorists might completely overlook handicap accessible markings on the pavement. Drivers are more likely to abide by the law when they see the symbols.
