Our team transformed the fresh asphalt into a safe, clearly organized, and ADA-compliant parking area. Strategic layout and striping brought structure while optimizing traffic flow and ensuring full compliance with safety standards.
Professional Striping Brings Order and Safety to New Construction
Located alongside a brick academic building and bordered by pedestrian stairs and landscaping, the lot needed to balance vehicle access with pedestrian visibility and movement.
The newly laid asphalt had no markings initially. Our team at Asphalt Care Inc. was brought in to design a parking stall layout, apply striping, and create designated no-parking zones and pedestrian buffers.
Step-by-Step: Our Parking Lot Striping Process
Whether for colleges, commercial centers, or municipalities, our striping process follows a clear methodology for compliance and longevity:
1. Layout Planning and Measurements
We began by evaluating the site to develop a logical parking layout. This includes determining the optimal size and number of stalls, spacing, and entry/exit alignment.
Special care was taken to avoid obstructions and make sure there’s proper setback from curbs, sidewalks, and the stairs.
2. Surface Preparation
Although the lot was newly paved, surface cleanliness is critical to adhesion. Our crew cleared dust and debris using blowers and brooms for a smooth application surface.
Any moisture or residue can reduce paint durability, so this step is never skipped.
3. Marking and Chalk Lining
Temporary chalk lines were laid to outline each space and traffic symbol, allowing for final adjustments and approval before painting.
This ensures symmetry and proper angles, particularly in angled or curved stall zones, as shown in the second photo.
4. Stripe Application
Using commercial-grade striping machines and high-visibility traffic paint, we applied:
- Standard vehicle stall lines
- End caps and key regulatory signs
- ADA-compliant markings and buffer spaces
- Clear entrance and boundary markings
The quick-drying paint that we used helped minimize downtime, allowing the lot to be reopened promptly for use.
A Safe, Functional Parking Area for Campus Use
The transformation was done fast. What was once a blank asphalt lot now supports organized parking with precise stall lines and clearly defined buffer zones.
The newly marked area not only enhances safety for both drivers and pedestrians but also boosts the overall professional appearance of the Grace College campus. The added striping is truly a necessity.
