Design Considerations For Striping

A property owner aims to get the most cars possible into a parking lot to maintain cost-effectiveness. The right layout and parking lot striping can help meet this goal.

Customers want parking lots that allow them to enter, park, and exit quickly and safely. Attractive and properly placed parking stalls, arrows, and handicapped-reserve signs help to efficiently direct travelers

Before parking lot striping, it important to consider whether a parking lot needs designated parking spaces for disabled persons, customers, employees, visitors, or other individuals.

Two Types of Parking Lot Striping

Under Pressure’s pavement marking experts maximize your parking lot capacity, allowing you to provide a safe and convenient parking experience. All of our engineered layouts are designed in accordance with municipal guidelines using laser-guided striping systems for accuracy.

New Layout

One main goal of any successful parking lot design is to provide the most stalls possible for the most functionality.

The straight-in design (90°) allows maximum stall capacity; however, for a variety of reasons, angled stalls (45°, 60° or 75°) may be preferred. Straight-in stalls are easiest to lay out and stripe and permit two-way traffic. Angled stalls, on the other hand, are easier for drivers to turn into and back out of, and typically require a narrower lane. They also provide a controlled one-way traffic flow and create a herringbone design that many owners find appealing.

General rule of thumb: The greater the angle, the more space used.

For businesses who have either purchased a new property or are constructing an additional parking lot, Under Pressure can design and execute a completely original layout crafted with safety, aesthetics and compliance in mind.
